How on earth do you keep the pinion from falling off? > How on earth do you keep the pinion from falling off? With the grub screw?

If you are finding that and it is still getting loose then put a touch of threadlock (Locktite blue stuff NOT red or you'll never get it off) on the thread of the grub screw before you put it back into the pinion, then refit doing it up tight on the flat.  SignatureChris Make sure you got a STEEL grubscrew and wrench in GOOD condition. That way you can thighten it very hrd on the flat part of the shaft. > How on earth do you keep the pinion from falling off? Try using some loctite (thread locking glue) on yer nut/threaded shaft. > How on earth do you keep the pinion from falling off? |
