The Framers Forum

Hi all, first post on this forum and typically it's a request for help.

The pin attaching the draw strap to the bell crank lever has sheared. Does anyone know if it is possible to drift the pin out the bell crank lever. I have tapped it a couple of times but it seems solid. Before I try again, I thought it better to get advice.

Cheers

Actually that was my second post

Not sure which bits you are reffering to. Any chance of a photo?

Yes, a photo would have been a good idea

Its threaded I think, the bit that snapped off should have a slot it it for a screw driver.

This is the part where it snapped. It seems that the pin is just pressed in and unthreaded. I think drifting it out is the way but it's very solidly in. I may need to heat it up. There has been about 1mm of movement.

Sorted... I swapped the bolt I was using to drift it out for the bar on the blade spanner and it eventually came out. There was a bit of rust holding it in. New part ordered so should be back up and running tomorrow.

Great, glad I was here to help

Thought it was the peddle one thats threaded on one side.
