I've tried to get it to the right side quite a few times...
I went out after I made the post, got very frustrated, and muscled it over.. In the process it made the eyelet bigger AND it bent the eyelet so it's no longer closed..
After I got it on the right side, I bent the eyelet closed and made it a bit smaller..
I have zero faith it's not going to happen again..
I'm thinking I got a bad batch of 330's..
I bought 12... 1 spring snapped in half on a log the beaver pushed through the trap on its first use.... and then these 2 where the eyelet sprung around to the wrong side of the trap.
The only way I can see the eyelet springing around to the wrong side is if the eyelett was too big from factory..
I'll give halfords credit, when I emailed them a picture of the 330 with the snapped spring and a pic of the receipt, they shipped me a replacement for free. It happened within a month or so of purchase.
