Pushnut/starlock washer install
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know an easy way of installing a pushnut washer aka star lock washer? Im trying to install it on a pin that holds together a linkage joint. Ive tried vice grips, a socket and socket extension while hammering it onto to the post, forcing it in with the washer on a socket and using channel locks.
I cant get enough force onto the washer and keeping the back of the pin steady enough. Is there a special tool for it or a technique? https://www.bakfin.com/starlock/imag...t-starlock.jpg |

Does that make sense? |
Never done this before but I'd try: Put vise-grips so the jaws are on the ends of the pin. May need a second pair of vise-grips to hold the two rod together. Use a small punch and hammer to "walk" around the nut, forcing it onto the pin.

Or get rid of the link pin and install a connector bolt and cap nut.

Why not simply hold it vise-grips and use needle nose pliers and slightly bend the insides so it can help slide it in.
I hate those fasters especially when it's come time to remove them. |

Getting them off was easy. They're meant to be destroyed and replaced with new ones when you take them off. A sharp punch tool and finishing hammer and pliers . |
