Pedal Box Rivnuts

[sjmmarsh]

One of the rivnuts on the top of my pedal box has come loose and is spinning round. Is there an easy way of getting it to stay put again?

 

I have a rivnut tool, but the existing rivnuts look different as there is hardly any 'flange' on the top of the pedal box, presumably to allow a snug fit for the top when it is fitted. Am I likely to have problems if I just replace it?

If it isn't too loose you can try pulling it up a bit more with your Rivnut pliers. I usually put a drop of Loctite on the shoulders of a rivnut before fitting, to prevent just this sort of thing from occurring. You may be able to run a drop into the loose one before pulling it up which will, hopefully, resolve the problem for you.

Why not use your rivnut tool to tighten up the existing rivnut

Doh!!!

 

Thanks guys. It worked.

 

I should have said "I have a rivnut tool, but I don't know how it works" 😳
