Add a 2" long .250" clevis pin to the list.
Invaluable for the installation or removal of the pivot pin's spring and dentent pin.

No, installing or removing......mostly installing.

Insert the clevis pin from the left.
Align the clevis pin's hole with the receiver spring/pin hole.
Install spring through the clevis pin hole.
Install detent pin thorough clevis pin hole.
Insert a 1/16" punch, depressing the detent pin.
Rotate the clevis pin, while removing the punch.
Once slightly rotated, the clevis pin traps the detent pin and spring.
Insert the pivot pin from the right, displacing the clevis pin.
Rotate the pivot pin, capturing the detent pin in the pivot pin's slot.
Lube.
