Help with older tools
on: February 25, 2013, 11:49:58 PM
Wonder if anyone can help with this:

I have a couple of first generation LMs that need the plier pivots tightened.

Is there a better way than to grab the knurled screws with pliers?

Remember to turn the wrenches the right side. ;) And heating up the pivots will loose the loctite and make the screws easier to turn. Looking forward to seeing your mod. :salute:

No mod I'm afraid...just tuning up a couple of old timers ;)
