My old man--being the good guy that he is---was tring to pull the bbl from my Yugo kit while I was at work---it has been a real pain----anyway---he got it to go for me, but while he was clamping it in the vise he broke the little tab off the lever that frees the gas tube to come out-----how hard are these to replace?---It still works, but I gotta use a tool now---cause the little finger tab isn't there anymore----thanks

its simple to fix
just beat it out with a hammer and punch
and install a new 1

I wouldn't bother with it. How often do you have to take the gas tube off anyways? Like never.

I did the same thing.  Got a replacement from Numrich but still have to install it.

i would agree with you but
ive tryed and it causes probs without the end theres nothang to hold it in place and it moves
then your gas tube moves and binds on your piston
