[NSRCA-discussion] Dang...

[Ken Thompson]

Yep, got the screws loose, tried tightening and loosening to see if the slight movement would break the threads loose, no go.  Didn't try the heat gun yet, between that and a couple of strap wrenches I'll get it apart tonight.  I can't believe Hacker doesn't have instructions about this on their site, at least that I can find.

  Make sure you have loosened the two little embedded set screws 180 degrees apart in 2 of the eight holes on the gear box--like a 1mm allen wrench.  You might try TIGHTENING and then loosening them which might break any locktite on the main threads with a little heat from your heat gun and you might not need the strap wrench...

          I made the move to go electric...at least for the time being...my current plane has a Hacker C50 that needs the gearbox lubed, which I thought would be a piece of cake.  Now I find I need a couple of strap wrenches to take the gearbox apart, wish I'd known that when I was back in Michigan for my son's graduation...I drove right by a Sears Hardware, coulda' picked up a couple of wrench's when I was there.  I have 2 contest's in June I want to make and am not sure I can get any flight's in before teh first one if I need to order a set of wrench's.

          Does Lowes or Home Depot carry a comperable wrench so I can get this box apart and get back in the air???

          Thanks in advance...

          Ken
