Removing and Replacing Diameter Detect Rod
Refer to the Chuck Spindle Drive Belt Replacement
instructions for cover and chuck removal and re-
assembly after diameter detect rod has been re-
placed. See Section 24 Schematics and Work In-
structions page 3.
1. Remove cover and chuck only.
2. Rotate the 2 jaws next to the diameter detect
rod by gently pushing forward on the spring
and rotating the jaws outward and up 180°.
3. Turn the jaw assembly counter clockwise until
it bottoms out in the knob.
4. Slide each jaw down the spring and lay flat on
chuck knob. Continue this process until you
have sufficient room between the springs to
engage a 4mm wrench on the flats of the rod.
Apply pressure until the rod breaks loose. Ro-
tate the rod out by moving the wrench be-
tween the springs, be careful not to damage
them. Place a drop of #243 blue loctite on the
new rod threads and screw in place. Do not
over tighten. Reposition jaws and reassemble.
