On mine there is a piece of rubber, but due to age, and use I guess, the rubber has been worn down to nothing on the sides. Because of that it makes a tinkling noise. It looks like there is a staple or something holding that rubber part on. Now the question...can that thing be flipped out, and then the rubber replaced?
Because this may be very confussing if you are not familiar w/the hc, I will try to get a pic posted.
Thanks for the help,

If you can't get the lever to "flip out" (I constantly flip out), loosen the nut holding the HC to the machine and move it that way. The rubber piece can be replaced with anything that fits--tubing (I'm thinking aquarium, but guess it's not big enough), section of rubber hose, even the rubber bands off broccoi in a pinch!!
