I ground down an old flat tip screw driver till it fit in between the lever and pin. Then moved the lever towards the pin to work it out. As the pin worked out I ground the tip tip down to make it thicker picking up the slack. Mike
11/16 = 3/4 - 1/16 so close enough. If a 3/4 bottoms out and does not grab the arm securely, put a thin flat washer beneath the lock washer against the arm.
Now, I have lived my whole live in the far west of north america. It may be that I just do not understand rust. Gord, are you saying that the tools in this box rusted by merely laying there? Or, were they immersed in water? In a flood? Subject to rain? I cannot imagine my tools rusting in the box.
Rob, the thread size is a metric M8-1 thread and the req'd. bolt is 3/4" long. The "8" refers to the diameter amd the "1" is the pitch - that is, 1mm advance per turn. Cheers, Hugh Pite
