Bracket install#2

3. Be careful when removing the washer, as behind it are the Belville washers which provide the spring tension. These are cone shaped and there are 5 of them. If they come out, the 1st one is installed small end up alternating small, big end with the final one small end facing out. Remove the original bracket with the pivot pin.
4. You will need to reuse the flat washer you removed. I tried various washers and could not find one that was the correct dimensions and thickness. So clamp the washer in your vice and drill it out with the ¼ drill bit and then change your bit to the 3/8 and deburr both sides of the washer.
