Where credit is due.
We tend to give AMF a ton-O-crap for their 
design of some things. (like the LBS for one)
But THIS! THIS is a stroke of genius!
(Folks with 82-70s may want to hit the back button now.
)
How COOL IS THAT?!?!
This was just a simple job. The pinwheel pulley had come loose and buggered itself to the shaft. I was having a hard time getting it to line back up with the key-way. I was prepared to remove the chassis and chassis bracket. I remembered someone had told me how easy the 90 pinwheel swings open, so... what the heck, I'll try it.
After removing only 5 bolts (2 pinwheel mount pins, 2 dizzy support, 1 BR spring stay), the pinwheel opens up like a free swinging door.
Talk about easy access! Very neat indeed.
PinCup's official 'Atta Boy' to the techs at AMF for this design.
