I have a two coil couplers that have a small amount of wiggle between the coupler head and the truck. It seems to be pretty small and would probably not effect operation - I have not run the car yet as it is disassembled for cleaning.
Is using a punch / hammer on the rivet to tighten up the rivet flair a good idea? Or would I risk more damage in possibly breaking the rivet / pin or damaging the coupler head? Is there a tool for the Hobby Horse press / toolset that would help tighten the rivet - I have been contemplating purchasing their press for some other work as well.
Thank you,
Luther Stanton
