Default Trouble rebuilding

Hi ppl

I'm having great trouble with dismantling the driveshafts from my DEX410.

I can't seem to get the small pins out from the wheel hubs. They seem stuck!

I've tried nudging them with a screwdriver tip but nowt - even after lubricating them.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Naushad

if you used thread loc and it's now in there solid try warming it up with a flame. that'll break down the loc and it'll fall apart then.

(as with all naked flames be careful of your surroundings and remember it'll be hot afterwards.)

If you need more precise application of heat, use a soldering iron and touch it to the tip of the pin.

(clean all the solder off it first!)

Just about to build my DEX410R, is it best not to bother with threadlock on the pins, or is it essential to keep them in place? Cheers, Rich.

Default Hi

Judging by how difficult I am finding it to remove the stuff I wouldn't bother with thread lock. It's so tightly jammed. I'm trying to use a soldering iron at the moment ...
