Step 4Check eye hooks
Assure yourself that the eye hooks fit over the pens. They need to be loose enough to rotate easily, but not so loose that they rattle too much. If not, bend them slightly so that they do. Mine were a bit small and needed to be bent out a bit.

Not sure. Walmart or whatever local hardware stores are usually the best bets.

For: so the pen won't slide side to side. How: Shoved the pen through them where they go as per picture and pinched them there with my hands.

Depends on what you have I suppose. Some wire could perhaps be fashioned into holding the axle, but given the force a trap puts on it I wouldn't count on it. Nails/screws with some wire perhaps.

Umm, beats me bro. I have no clue what other parts would work, but anything that would fit or bend to fit your axle should be ok. If the particular trap isn't there either it's pretty much the same story there, whatever springing trap (and yes, they sell them less and less in favor of other types) is available would work fine. The whole point of doing it is to learn. Take advantage of that.

I used a pair of needle nose pliers and a pair of diagonal cutters. In other words, whatever two plier-like things laying around. Any two with any leverage should probably work. It's one of those things that are hard to give specific instructions on because I'm so used to just using whatever odd things I have laying around, a vice, a thin space in a sturdy item, a pair of scissors, a screwdriver.. Anything that'll hold it steady and anything else that will inflict force on the other part.
