Re: Teck 1 gear measurements
I think I got it. I loosened those 4 bolts - 2 on each side - as I was going to follow the instructions above and clean this thing. The minute that these bolts were ever so slightly loosened, the moving of the rollers unseized dramatically. Being a good girl, I figured I would go the whole way, take the combs off, etc. and soak and clean this. It wasn't so terribly dirty, but I will say I guarantee this thing was put together with an air compressor and an impact wrench. I needed an effin breaker bar to move these bolts!!! I have it soaking now. I see that those side bolts hold those crossbars in place, that the combs are bolted to. I can't see which bolts I can actually do without, as once those 4 side bolts were removed, one of those cross bars slipped out of place. I took them both out to soak them, and fingers crossed, I'll be able to get them back into position again. I'll use all the bolts when reassembling this, but I won't make those 4 side bolts so ridiculously tight. Thanks again (as usual) for all your advice!!
By the way, with the rollers moving better, I think I should have no trouble with the drill, either......
