Assembly:

• You may need to whittle or sand down the pivot pin slightly if it fits tight or use a small file to make sure that the pivot pin openings are actually round.  Do not force the pin into the lid opening or a pivot pin opening may crack. 
• Insert lid into top of mug with opening towards bottom of the mug
• Insert pivot pin through the mug lid anchor and lid.
• If the pivot pin fits snuggly then you are finished otherwise follow the next step.
• There is a small hole in the lid pivot area under the thumb tab.  After the pivot pin is in place, either use a dab of superglue to hold the pivot pin in place, or if you'd like the option of removing the lid later, use a tiny sheet metal screw (M2.2) to secure the pivot pin.
