Title: How to removing plastic disc.
Post by: stevelauw on February 10, 2012, 11:40:10 AM
Alan,

I have an Abu Ambassadeur Pro Max 1600 and I have been trying to remove the spool bearings for normal maintenance.

On the left hand side of the spool, there is a black plastic disc that has to be removed before one can access the bearing. In the schematic, it's listed as part 19381 and I think it's some sort of a pop-in thingy that you just press into place. The question I have is how do you remove it? I've been trying without success and I don't want to damage it.

Would you be able to advise??

Thanks

Steve

better yet, push it out from underneath by pushing on the bearing.
