if u have a harbor freight around, buy it there, u can get a set of about 6 of those little sizes for damnnear nuttin. Or otherwise sears sells um also..

Good advice about not too tight. I took the screw out (with a T6) and made sure the spring was rotated into the correct position (clockwise, with the end of the spring protruding adequately to the right to contact the slide stop and the "bump" of the spring on the other side positioned well to hold the pin in nice and snug. I then used a drop of Loctite (blue) to ensure that the screw would not loosen. Runs like a top. Joe

Loctite and other threadlocker companies advise against using thread lockers on plastic. The chemical bond can be stronger than the plastic and make a big hole if you need to replace the screw.

This is NOT "good advice".

How does Loctite work on a woman's lips?
