Good info, @Bart. Thanks.

I can do that. It is aluminum.

If I had a second one to do, I know a couple of things I could have done to make it a bit nicer job, but I believe it'll work fine as is.

After thinking on it a bit, I decided to do as @davidwyby suggested. It worked out fine, and I'm pretty certain it'll hold. Especially if I take a bit of care not to overtighten the bar nut. It is interesting that the direction the insert moved shows that it was on loosening rather than...

I agree @davidwyby, it does look to have a flange. You can see it clearly in the third pic posted. I might try your suggestion as well as the plastic "weld". Between the both of them, it should hold. If not, then I get to use the method preferred by @Mellow :D.

Al, that's not where the issue is. Maybe read the initial post again?

Might work. Be hard to keep the drill bit evenly in both plastic and metal, as they are so different in density/hardness.

I was able to turn the insert back into proper position by tightening a C clamp on it to give me a grip. But the plastic is now misshapen, and I rather expect it might want to move again when next I loosen the bar nut. I can of course replace the cover, it's easily available and not TOO...

Today I was buzzing up some limbs and such for the woodpile with my 200 rear handle. After a while, needed fuel and oil plus a small adjustment to tighten the chain. I loosened the bar nut, then as I attempted to insert the scrench into the bar adjuster screwhead I was stymied by a bit of...
