I really do know how this sounds but I'd like to know how to get the main spindle in the head of my Gaui 200 out. I guess it's a pretty stupid question but I still :arggg:can't figure it out. I tried to pop the pin that's holding it out but it won't budge. Please help.

Michael, i guess it depends on how much locktite you used ;) ,,, best method i found was using a pinion puller to press the pin out.

The wierd thing is that I did not use any loc-tite at all on the spindle pin at all. Can you give me a link as to the tool that you use and mentioned? Thanks again.

I assume you used loctite on the grip bolts? this works its way down and can fix the pin quite well. I can't find a link to the exact puller i have but its something like this... without knowing the dimensions of this one i can't guarentee it will work! :dontknow

i used a small punch, and set it on a piece of soft wood. came right out. then pressed it back in with a small c clamp. a vise would work too.
