The instrument was pulled recently for a rebuild due to the odometer not working. Probably my fault, but I was looking for a way to lubricate the old angle drive and removed the slotted cover by turning it with a large screwdriver. I did not notice that it was staked in place and not threaded into the angle drive body. Inside I found nylon worn gears that looked a little worn, but still serviceable. When I could not figure out how to re-stake the slotted cover I just turned to Ebay. I won an auction for an NOS angle drive for less than the Moss price. I thought I beat the system, but found out that there was a problem. I guess after a number of years the lubrication hardens up. To turn the gears I need to use needle nose pliers. There is a lot of resistance to turn it. Any idea how to loosen this up? I put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes to try to soften the hardened grease, but no success. Or should I just spring for the Moss angle drive?<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1580064558535">Mike MacLean<br><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1580064524153"><br><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div></div></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span></span><br><span>Mgs@autox.team.net</span><br><span>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html</span><br><span>Suggested annual donation $12.75</span><br><span></span><br><span>Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs http://autox.team.net/archive</span><br><span></span><br><span>Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/difejo1@gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
