So I have a FT nemesis clone and I've been trying to fix my gritty switch. I've already checked to see if the brass pin is facing the right side up. I've been trying to sand down the button section of the switch (the piece with the train logo etched in), but I'm having trouble sanding down the lower section as my fingers don't fit. Anybody have some idea for me to work around this and go about sanding it smooth?

I super glued the pin in place, sanded off the excess, then put in 2 springs from home depot. Pretty awesome now. Oh, also replaced the bottom pin with a stainless screw. I know they are silver plated but I can get longer ones in steel. Teflon so it doesn't spin out, because it will eventually.
Ohh almost forgot, rubber spacer on the bottom.

Wouldn't you get some voltage drops if you did that? I've tried putting lubricant, and just from that I've noticed a significant voltage drop.
I need to sand down the bottom section since there is a good amount of grooves from the brass section crunching against the SS button.

Voltage drop from...? The Teflon is what I'm going to assume. You don't need anything but the minimal to catch a few threads. All you're trying to do its negate some of the free spin. If you aren't having a problem with the bottom coming out then no need
Emery cloth rolled with grit inward. Slide over shaft and turn in Tightening direction. Roll tension should give even pressure around the shaft..
Not sure why your is in such need. I have 3 and they all work well. I only set about 2mm gap on the switch.
