Hello Everyone
A couple of questions about S.B. Heavy 10
How do you remove the snap ring (ITEM #5,Parts List Book) of the clutch sleeve assembly? It appears to be captivated around the shaft and inside of the worm gear. I’m thinking of making a round tool that will fit over the clutch sleeve (item #2) that will spread the snap ring to remove the sleeve. Has anyone ever taken one apart?
Also the half nuts are worn almost to a sharp on the threads. I’m planning on making new and was wondering what material to use. The nuts appear to made of cast steel now. Any one ever had the same problem? I’m sure it will be expensive to purchase new from LeBlond or Parts Works.
Thanks
Larry
