Is there a link to a good page/thread where this has already been answered? Do all center sections have thrust buttons? I might be able to grab one from my brother and get rolling while I sort this out. Thanks guys!

The buttons have a roll pin you can see when looking at it through the side where the axle slides in? I can see it, but it won't come out. I wacked it with a 13/16" socket on an extension, and a large hammer, but it didn't budge.

I guess you have to tear it all apart. Does anyone have a picture of the difference between the button/block so I know if I have to tear it apart? mike

Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

They have to be pulled out. The roll pin holding the 2 halves together will 99% of the time be broken anyway so that is of little consequences. For this reason I never use one. It is just to hold the 2 halves together for assembly purposes anyway.
