I do not have the pivot pin install tool, any suggestions on how to install the pivot pin without the tool.
Thanks

R u talking about the detent for the pivot pin? You can use a credit card to hold in the detent while you slide in the pin.

Use a razor blade, like one out of a box cutter. Install the spring, then the detent, mash it all down using the razor blade, then slip the pin into place. Make sure you have the slot lined up the right way, and pull the razor blade out. Slightly twist the pin to get the detent to settle into it's slot, and you're done!

Local hardware store.....1/4" Clevis pin. It will cost you less than $2.

I was using a jewlers screwdriver, worked fine until yesterday. Lost two detents before I got it done.

I went straight to Lowes and bought the clevis pin.
