My Buck Rush stopped rushing .When top lever pushed the blade springs out about 3/4 .No more opening all the way.Anyway I can fix this or do I have to send back to Buck?Also none of my hex wrenches fit the coil spring nut.They fit handle nuts but not coil nut.Do I need a special tool?HELP:(
 
I'd like to add that I tried lubing with TUF-GLIDE dry lubericant.That made it worse I had to blow out with air .Than it returned to 3/4 opening,
 
Unfortunately it sounds like you broke a spring. The rush has two and when one of them goes it will almost never open all the way. The handle and pivot fasteners are a T6 driver, you can find at any hardware store. The best thing would be to send it back to Buck, and they will either send you a new one or fix it.
