Striker Boing ?

[armabill]

We could ask if the spring coils clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Now you ask me. I just put it all back together!

Anyway, the tool didn't fit quite right. I could feel that it wasn't properly engaging the striker cut outs. So, I pushed hard and slowly turned it loose. Yes, I did remove that screw second, first was removing the tool head.

Upon removal, I saw what the problem was concerning the tool fit. The half moon cut outs was burred up, probably when last installed.

Now I know that there will be a collective sigh and eyes rolling, but I got my Dremel tool out. I selected a metal cutting bit that was just right and very carefully took off the offending burrs. Now the tool fully seats and is a lot easier to put back on.

Thanks for everyone's input. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably would have never taken it off unless there was some catastrophic problem.
