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

yeesh, that one prys straight up.  they get bent in the process, too.  try to be as careful as you can.   :-\

Woah! I guess I have to be real careful then. Anyway thanks Alan.

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

Took up your suggestion and managed to push it out from the inside without damaging the plastic disc. Fantastic!! Thanks Alan!!
