Title: How get Tip Off...... Halp !!
Post by: tp4tissue on Fri, 16 March 2018, 16:46:36

1st thought is,  Soak the tip in hot water ?

2nd thought.. BURN IT w/ Fire!!

3rd thought...  Gekhak Xperts.. !!


I know with bigger Gears I'd typically go with fire,  but i don't know if this type of attachment has some sort of issues with heat.

But in this case, there's not alot of clearance , and i definitely don't have a puller that small.

I cut the base off and managed to fix the motor by cleaning leaked electrolytics which covered the brushes...

But now I can't get the Tip all the way down the shaft..
