Got a Starrett 196 dial indicator for free - problem is, it's sticky. I'd like to disassemble it, both to learn about the internal mechanism and to try to clean it.
Disassembly requires removal of the pointer arrow. But how do you pull the pointer off without damaging anything? Is it a press fit, or is it threaded onto the shaft? Do I need a special tool to pull it (i.e. a tiny little bearing puller)???
I have the same problem with a 120A caliper. Can its pointer be removed using the same method as the 196?
Thanks Guys...
