I just use my fingers and push them until they snap in the groove. I've gotten a few blisters, but nothing to write home about.


Nowadays it just don't pay to be a good 'ol boy.

1/4" pipe 10" long works great.

If you fellers remove the pans and clamp the base of the trap in a vice it is a very simple thing to do. If you don't you'll fight with it and likely break your pinky finger. (better late than never???) lol

Use a nut driver with a hole up the center or a piece of aluminum heavy wall tubing with a 3/16 hole in it.put over the spring and set it behind the lever.
THe part below the dog is a spring pin.
I do what ADC said,remove the pan,I drill it out at this time for the #10 brass pan bolt.

I have a solid white part on my fingernail that is just about grown out... I sucked it up and spent 2 bucks with my shipment from snare shop and bought a tool made to put them on... use a vice and use the proper tool and you should have no problems at all. Most any trap catalog co has them for 2 bucks.

I like a small nut driver better than the "tool" made for the purpose.

maybe the ones I have are differnet, cause I could not get them to work as well, but I know that a lot of the pro's use a small nut driver as well. I just have not been able to use the one's I have as easy as the tool.
besides, I don't ever want to admit I like small (or large for that matter) nuts more than anything else...
