Glad it worked Kempe, I PM'ed you with some more pics but it sounds like you're now set.

It looks like I can't do anything more until I get a bearing puller or something simular this week end so I'm posting what I have so far. I've kept the pictures to a smaller size to stop this thread from exploding.

I'm no expert and doing this as a hobby. You'll probably find a better way however the pictures should help you with your project.


Close up of the grub screw holding the assembly in place. Remove or loosen it. This is inside the chassis.

Getting the pulley off ( A dramatic re enactment smile )It was necessary to jiggle the wheels/rollers as it started to slip out.

Before removing the bolts holding the roller assembly I used two hammers to take the weight.
This made undoing the bolts on each side much easier and meant I didn't have to take the weight when it let go. Undo about 5 bolts holding the assembly in place. 3 On this side and 2 on the other

Close up of the pulley side. I used a 19mm socket on the end with the roller in a vice to remove the nut.

Had to gently persuade the cover off.

The notorious plastic gear.

The other end has a bearing and circlip holding the roller in place (loosened off in this picture)

I'm going to get some advice about removing the bearings. I just went down to repco and they priced a bearing puller at around $100. Bit pricey, might try to rig up something with a steering wheel puller.

That's it until I get the proper tools - probably this week end.

Good luck, Paul.
