Vic Valencheck Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Is there a trick in removing the pivot screw? I don't see any set screws that would hold it in place. Does it turn CW or CCW? I used Blaster penetrating oil, no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Humphrey Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Vic, I just responded to your PM on this topic, but the pics you and Russ posted above show how the screwdriver slotted disk can accept a smaller screwdriver at as shallow an angle as possible and then be tapped in a counter clockwise (lefty loosey) manner. Mine started turning fairly easily, but you might want to try a little heat if impact doesn't work. Just have to be cautious about getting the pot metal too hot.

Vic Valencheck Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Success !! Thank you Jim and Russ for your valuable information. I ended up getting the screw off by tapping the edge of the slot with a small screwdriver. Better to ask for help then destroy a project.

Jim Humphrey Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Congrats Vic, glad to hear it's off and no attendant damage! On the motor housing nuts and studs, the rod that goes thru the housing is just threaded on each end, so try with two screwdrivers, one on each nut and see if one will start. If so, get that one off and drive the stud through the housing so you can put it in a vice to remove the other nut. Hopefully that'll work.

I also removed the stator by using the pc pipe. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
