De-Pinning Sachs

[speedstar]

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on de-pinning the sachs dampers DIY style? From what I can see there is a grub screw holding the adjuster knob in place, and a pin drilled in to the top.
So... remove the grub screw, remove the adjuster, remove the pin, put it back together again?

Is it that simple? What am I missing?

Cheers

Tom

Hi Tom

If you look up number 444 I put some photos etc up when I did my spare set.

sort of - there's a couple of tiny ball bearings under the knob, that are easily lost if you're not careful when removing the knob.

Thanks both! I'll give it a go!

The grub screw is secured with loctite. If you try to remove it without heating/melting the loctite you may end up rounding off the grub-screw and you’ll have to drill it out and fit a larger one. Heat the adjuster with a heat gun or hairdryer to soften it before trying to unscrew it.
