I am attempting to service a 1300C
a generous member gifted me.
The rotor doesn't want to come off I am not sure if its just stuck or I ain't holding my mouth right? Also the main gear doesnt want to come out,my 1st time on these guys so any insight will help!
That 1300C has never heard of a service before, James —-
The rotating head just lifts off under normal circumstances.
It is not threaded on.
In this case, I generally shoot a little Kroil around the pinion threads —- let it set for 20 minutes, then see if it pulls off.
If it doesn't, then I use a vinyl covered hammer to carefully, but firmly tap the threaded pinion downwards to break the crud that is holding it on.
If you don't have a hammer like that, just use a block of hardwood between the hammer and the pinion.
As for the main gear, just tap it out after Kroil application — using a small wooden dowel.
Some of these have nylon bushings instead of bearings for the main gear —- so be careful not to ruin the bushings.
Then, a really good cleanup, burnishing and smoothing of all friction parts, lubrication, reassemble, test, adjust, tune, recheck all screws —- good to go.
Best, Fred
Ain't got it yet but may need a bigger hammer?
Also looks like a/r is still hooked to so.ething but can't see til the main gear comes out
