Snap-On Ratchet "Resto"

[NOTABLAZER]

I have an old Snap-On SL710 1/2" drive ratchet,I basically saved it from the trash a while back. It has some battle scars and works fine,but the lever is missing.

I found this on their website:

What should I get from this list? Obviously I'd need the lever itself,but what would hold it in?

Any pointers would be appreciated..

I just rebuilt my old SL715, the long handled version, a couple of weeks ago. I keep an extra kit for each ratchet on hand. The kits are only 5 or 10 bucks from the Snap-on dealer. Then I swap the used kit for a new one next time I see him. If you can catch one at one of his stops, he should be able to either install a replacement lever, or if it's needed, rebuild the ratchet for free.

The lever is peened to hold it in.

far as i know, most ratchets have the lever go in first where it is just held into place and then the gear, then the anvil, and a snap ring. But this particular ratchet, if i remember right from when i took apart my old proto, it has a screw that just simply holds it in, and the lever from the inside pushes on a spring, but from the illustration you posted, i'm cluless as they are most likely different :/

The reverse lever part number is L710-5. The entire repair kit is RKRA711

Does the kit come with the lever?

Does the kit come with the lever?

Yes. It has everything except the bottom "figure eight" shaped plate.

Well,I received the kit today and I have it all together,but I have a dumb question...

Whats the best way to peen the lever in place? I've rebuilt ratchets before at work (SK ratchets) but never one this style.

A punch and hammer, lay the rat on a item like a anvil, or other metal surface.
