Removing Let-Off Buttons

Avery,

Run the screws up until they just barely protrude from the bottom.  Take
the new button, hold it firmly against the rail and use the drill to
screw the screw down until the button slips out of your fingers, it is
tight enough.   On S&Ss I drilled a BIG hole in the flange, large enough
for the new button.  The flange held the button in place and got it
going straight.

I had a machinist friend cut off a let-off regulator and insert it into
a drilled piece of 1/4" hex stock.  Fits perfectly in my little powered
screw driver.  It is not more than 4" long.  Perfect.
