Title: Launched anti-reverse spring ..
Post by: basenjib123 on April 12, 2020, 06:02:54 PM
So I'm working on my Microlite when the anti-reverse spring launches!   Down on all fours searching for about a half hour when the wife comes along and starts helping.  After about 10 minutes she reaches into my hair and ask "Is this it?" ... and of course it was  ;D .. Just thought I'd share this with ya'll.   Happy Easter!...Joe.

I tore my garage up, went over the flor around my workbench with a magnet, searched my shoes! Finally gave up and ordered new one plus spares!
A few days later I find it.  Nestled on the tray below my rolling bench stool.  Right we're I was sitting when I lost it.
