I saw someone mentioned using a Clevis Pin as a detent install tool. Here is the perfect item from Home Depot, approx $1.50.....

I'm confused. How does a razor blade not work?

[blkside]

I dont even use a razor blade... dont be soft... Man up... I use my finger, slide the pin along my finger and push and remove finger simultaneously... bam

This! Easiest part of the assembly!

razor blade and spare pin from back coming from opposite side works best.

you just chase the pin out with the permanent pin

Isn't it possible to use the pivot pin itself as a Clevis pin? IIRC that's how I did it last time...

This is what I do.

I push in with front take down pin and slide it right in. No need to buy unneeded tools.

I just use the knife on my leatherman. I use it for the rest of my build so it's there anyway
