Benhim Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I disassembled my power switch which was a mistake because I can't seem to get it back together. I can't seem to find a tool that will fit inside the small holes on the back of the ceramic insulator where the nuts attach to the screws. I have a small socket that fits the nut, but I can't seem to find one that fits inside the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Perhaps a pair of needlenose pliers? Or if you just need to hold the nut to mate it with the bolt, perhaps wedge a matchstick or similar in there to hold it enough before friction can take over?

Chris Campbell Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Call Skutt ... Get it done right. Hmmm ... And do you care to share what your plan was when you took it apart?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benhim Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 My Rheostat was burned out so I wanted to check the power switch to see if there was a lot of carbon scoring. Had no idea they had elves put the switch together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benhim Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Got it back together. I put the screws in backwards and mounted the nuts on the front against the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solved the problem by grinding the outer barrel of a nut driver so that it would fit into the recess. I used a belt sander here at Paragon.
