Temple gasket installation

Grease to hold them in place
Toothpick to line them up
Spread the orbital's just a little bit for clearance.
I was just gonna suggest the toothpick to help get them aligned and held in place. I always feel like I'm playing Operation when doing this...

My favorite is when you're trying to push one of those things in and it gets caught, bends and then flings off like a missile to lord knows where...
 
I agree but I could not install 2+2 so far... was not able... looking for instructions

Take toothpick, break it in half. Take out T shock and put toothpick in between to lift gasket area a bit.

After that, can stack 2 gasket on top and two on earstem then slide in. Then use other half of toothpick, stick thru screw hole to line everything up.

After that, screw down and remove toothpick.
 
I use these soldering picks with different length tips I shaped to help align the washers. I Also use these for doing XX and Juliet tune-ups to help align the pin and coupler.

Essentially the same as others suggestions to use a toothpick. This just allows a little better control and dexterity with the extended length.

I have done that last week with a Polished Juliet.

Hairspray is the trick.
Spray a fair amount of Hairspray onto one side of the ear stem.
It has to be a small puddle.
Align the 2 washers to the hole with a tooth.
Let it dry.
Do the same to the other side and let it dry.
Hairspray drys within minutes.
The two washer on each side will not move.
Spread the frame a little.
Slide the stem in and drop the screw.
Take out your spredder.
Tighten the screw.
Done.
Wash of the Hairspray of with hot water.
Works on the first try.
You can all thank me later.
