[NSRCA-discussion] Hacker gearbox

[Stuart Chale]

Still having trouble :)
I found the set screws and loosened them.  They are not removable but can
unscrew several turns.  Does the gearbox unscrew counter clockwise?  I may
need a bigger strap wrench but I can't budge it.  Any other secrets?

Thanks
Stuart

Stuart,
The setscrews take a 1.5mm allen wrench. Just go from hole to hole with the 
wrench until you find them. BTW, I've seen a few motors that only had one 
setscrew, but most have two as Earl pointed out.
