TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It will just tap out, but you will need to grip the gear to stop it spinning. You could do it with 2 bits of wood and some rope if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'll give it another try tonight, but "tap" definately doesnt describe how hard i was hitting it and it wasnt for moving when i tried the other day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That section of the shaft is not where your problem lies. The shaft at the bottom comes up through the body and becomes the inner part of the shaft at the top. What you need to free up is the section of shaft that rotates a few degrees on the centre shaft. I don't believe you need to dismantle the gear etc. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 So how do i extract the outer shaft that the rotor sits on, from the inner shaft at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That's the bit where I thought you would find a screw head if you looked down the hole in the top of the outer section. Have just had a look at my spare and there appears to be some sort of SRBF ring around the centre shaft which may mean it is just a press fit. I can see no other fixing method but am not prepared to strip mine down, sorry. Steve PS.

TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Think i've got a vac module kicking around on an old dizzy somewhere. I'll look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
