Kneepin questions

[haggis]

Was it sufficient for you to push the repro knee pin parts together with your fingers or did you use pliers or some other tool? I'm trying to replace the knee pin on my General Urko and it doesn't seem to fit as tight as the other knee pin when I push it together by hand? Just wondering...I am also a newbie at figure repair. Sorry for intruding on your thread, shornk!

What I use in to push Pin into the" bushing ",Yes folks its called a bushing
Is a Drift. Now, you said that the pin is loose. on that the pin size lenght may be little longer ,
or its not pushed enough , , find a nut that that is the same size as the bushing flange. place the nut on work surface (NOT THE KITCHEN TABLE) Place the knee with the bushing side down over the nut(pin head should pointing up) take a unshaperen pencile and place it on the pin's head , and push down.this should lock it in tighter if pin is not all the way in, You should see the locking knob of the pin sticking throught the bushing center.

Thanks for the advice and also the technical jargon. Now I know what the 'thingy' and the 'whatsit' are actually called. I'll give you technique a whirl!
Cheers!
