Hi. I had used epoxy on the crank pivot pin just as Bigboss had mentioned earlier. I found that it had hardened as cement! Its rock solid! Will i be able to get the pivot pin out again without doing any damage to the gearbox top? Thanks

you will - it will just crack when you undo the rocker post. But, if truth is told, you should only ever need to take the rocker posts off to replace your gearbox top anyway.

Yes Sodom, like Chris said, it will come out fairly easily once the glue cracks a bit(I crack it prior to trying to turn the hex with a pair of pliers). Its magic.

Hi bigboss. I used epoxy ( there are 2 tubes of components which i mixed together and paste it between the pivot pin and gearbox ). Is this correct? I cannot find epoxy glue. Dont know if these 2 are the same? Thanks

epoxy stands for 2 materials that you have to mix together to form your glue, but it can also be epoxy paint or epoxy whatever.

I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin' the best that I can..."
