Title: Need to remove/replace clicker/button on old 500
Post by: Joel.B on April 09, 2013, 08:55:59 PM
I see 35-60 clicker tongue and 36-60h button on MysticParts but I dont know how they attach

Is there a clip?

Hi Joel, dremel off the old click button with a grind stone & peen a new one in place over a block of wood. This type doesn't use a clip.               Rudy

Good advice from Rudy.
I just want to mention to use soft wood,  something like pine...not oak or maple. It is also a good idea to place a rag over the piece of wood.
The clicker is very soft, small blows with the hammer will get it done.

I'm sure you could do the same on the jigmasters, but you would need to rig something up. I know that you're good with tools, so here is your chance to shine ;) ;D



Lee, can you make us some clicker buttons and tongues out of stainless so we could use the c-clip on those?

I just saw your post after I got the 3# Lump Hammer & 3/4 X 12 Bull Point to peen over the button.
