Bob,
Thanks for your comment and for taking the time to go back thru the
manual. Your understanding is correct except that I have only loctited
one of the LG01A bushes. I don't believe I have an alignment
problem...I think my problem results from the bush being compressed
just enough to make for an interference fit between bushing and shaft
rather than for the shaft to freely rotate.
Looking at the Loctite specs, I find that the bond dissolves at 250
degrees C (wow...that's 482 degrees F.!). I guess I can put a propane
torch into the LG mounting frame and heat the puppy up to free the
bushing...but am wondering what that will do to the powder
coat...(?)...and I don't want to exacerbate the situation.
While still pondering what to do, I'm certainly open to additional
counsel from any source!
Thanks,
Fred
