Normally i've avoided having to remove the action stack but this time I will have to as the keys are so higgldy piggldy. I have a special tool to adjust the screws on the rockers; a ratchet offset screwdriver. What I want to know is, is there a special tool for disconnecting the stickers from the capstans. They are those stickers that tie the undercarriage of the whippen to the rocker capstan using centrepins. The bottom end of the sticker just clips onto the capstan. However the stickers are recessed so far back under the action stack that it is almost impossible to disconnect them without breaking something because they are usually very tight and there is so little room under there to manoeuvre.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another sleepless night ahead.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>AF</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
