Grrr... How do you get the replacement rowels to stay in? I feel like I've been replacing spur rowels left and right here lately. I've used the little pins that come with the rowels. I've used small nails, cut and bent to hold the rowel in. I've used a 'screw together' type of pin. It doesn't seem to matter, I'm still losing the rowels. What do you use?

use a tiny little grade 8 bolt. It will come with a nut. Stick it through, and tighten the nut just a little. If the bolt is sticking through too far for your taste , cut it off. Then get it on an anvil, or hard surface. Brad the end of the bolt with a ball pin hammer. It will never come off. You can take a hack saw to get it off if need be. A nail is just too soft,as well as most bolts. I have some that have been on this way for years,and worn daily.

Find a hard surface and get a hammer and hit the the end of the pin. It will cause it to mushroom and hold it in place. Don't hit it very hard or a lot just hit and check as you go
