The junior tech had gone round all the front rollers and used locktite to secure in the hex bolts in place. [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] (why I oughta ...) This particular roller had a very stubborn hex screw. It was totally welded into the casing. I usually get a larger allen bolt and hammer it in and use a lever, such as a shuttle compression spring tube or the short tube of the shuttle for leverage. But alas to no avail. Tried heating up the metal, also hamering around the bolt to loosen it up.
How do you guys get rounded, stubborn, worn, screws out of the front roller?
My colleague and pal, James, "the hammer" came up with a great solution for adjusting the horns on the orientator pan.
Just take the motor winding handle and place the open end over the horn on the pan. Now it is an easy matter of either pushing or pulling in which ever direction you want to move the horns! Thus avoiding horrific injury to the related parts if you get out the mallet and give it a good seeing too! [img]/content/btubb/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]
