Flybar seesaw replacement?
I managed to damage some of my flybar cage and the seesaw while trying to get a bent flybar out.
Now while I am waiting for replacement parts, I get in doubt on how to reinstall the seesaw: My head has still what appear to be a screw and a bearing in it on each side. Are these screws supposed to go into the seesaw? I am asking because right now, it looks like the screws only just go through the bearings and holds a small washer on the inside part. So I am wondering if the seesaw is just a tight fit between these, or if the screws are supposed to go through the bearings and into the seesaw? Thanks for helping me out ;-) |

Haha sorry... I had to laugh... Otherwise I'd be crying... That is the most annoying part to replace on the B450.
One advice... Take a deep breath and count to 10 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If I am correct, my point is, that the screws still in the head seems to short to go/reach into the seesaw, unless what I see is only a part of the the two screws remaining in the head?.... I have tried to attach a photo, to illustrate the screws in question. |

Yep, just remember to get it in the right orientation. Or you'll be kicking yourself later. Exploded parts diagram and Thalios's sticky plus that thread I linked will help.

I drilled my out and just replaced the bearing... To me paying a little money is worth the headach...
I then proceed to install the seesaw backwards and had to drill it again.... lol |

Everything is clear now, where I have gotten one of the bearings out: A small piece of broken seesaw covered the end of both screws. Now I understand that a small cylinder shaped part of he seesaw ("nub) goes into the bearing, and that the screws goes through the bearing and into the cylinder part of the seesaw. So obvious now, when it is apart, but hard to figure out when something is missing and you don't know exactly what. Thanks! Last edited by Like2fly; 12-01-2011 at 04:26 AM.. |

Replacing Flybar Seesaw Holder
I was finally able to replace the Seesaw holder by removing the bearings for both sides. Take special care when removing the bearings.
Once the bearings have been removed, insert the Seesaw holder into place and install one of the bearings. Make sure that the hole of the bearing matches the hold for the screw into the Seesaw. Place the head on a flat surface and rotate for the bearing installation. I used a socket from my socket set to push down on the bearing using equal pressure. You may also want to insert the screw about 1/3 of the way to ensure that everything is properly aligned. With the bearing inserted about 1/3 of the way, flip the head over and insert the other bearing. Also make sure that the hole for the Seesaw and the bearing are aligned. Press down carefully with equal pressure and the bearing should be installed. |

The seesaw has a pair of "horns" or "pivot shafts" directly opposite each other. Each of those "horns" inserts into the I.D. of the seesaw bearings and ends up sitting essentially flush with the outside of the bearing(s). So the securing screws engage with the seesaw "horns" immediately as soon as you begin threading them into place. Therefore they only need to be 2 or 3 mm in length because they are not doing any work; merely locking the bearings into the head (which is somewhat silly since they require such force to remove even when the seesaw is not present!) |

Aluminum seesaw (BLH1623A) comes with the brass insert, screws, and balls.
