Abstract
An arbor operably configured to facilitate positioning an element within an open end of a terminal or other device. The arbor may be operable to position the element relative to a groove or another type of difficult to reach area interior the open end. The arbor may include an assembly operable to move the element through the open end to a desired position where the element is freed to be positioned within the groove or other portion of the open end. Optionally, in the event the element is resilient, the resiliency of the element may be relied upon to cause the element to free itself from the arbor using expansion and at the same time secure itself within the groove or other portion of the open end.
