Italeri 1/32 105 mm howitzer kit

I am having trouble with step # 3. Parts 31 and 32 prevent me from putting the assemble onto the pivot and putting part 33 into position. Has anyone else experienced this problem and how did you resolve it ?

I have just built that kit. But I for the first time ever threw away the directions. Could you scan them or take a picture of them? I remeber having a problem with the kit I’d like to see if it is the same one.

I am not sure which part you had confused, but I had the exact same problem. And the same solution.[:D]
