3133 bubbleback Repair

Hi All,

It's been a while since I last posted on here, been quote busy with work etc.

I recently purchased a 3133 bubbleback in need of repair for a decent price, I've managed to get all the parts I need just waiting for them to arrive.

One repair that I've not had to do before is replacing the "Finger Axel Spring" please excuse me if I'm getting the part name incorrect. Has anyone done this repair before that can comment on the best way of doing it? It seemed pretty straight forward until I tried to remove the old part and it seemed rather stuck in place.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

If a part is stuck you could put a lot of oil on it and let it soak a few days and then try again. But make sure you clean it properly as you obviously don't want excess of oil in your movement.
