How do I...

Can you get accurate measurements so I can make a simple tool? ( is the bad button still good enough to get measurements off of? )

Ohhh, there goes $22 flying on the floor.

I put one on and before I did it I had the lift button on top pushed down before I did it and pressed it in with a small plastic spacer and a c clamp.

DWayne you need to find something that will slide over the button wall and sit on the first shoulder. It's best to try and press them in as to hammer. I have wadded them buttons before. Expensive little creatures.

I put the one back in my 128 but i forget how i did it! I would try the use a socket and a C clamp to press it in and some WD-40 lol

There might be enough left to measure. I'll check tomorrow.

Yeah I had the button on top pressed down, but am thinking the slow pressure of a c clamp and some type of buffer would work better as you say.

LOL, yeah I would prefer not to make this mistake again.

I think the inside shoulders of the socket are probably what got me in trouble to begin with.
