When tightened the bolt for one of the hand pegs the weld holding the threads must have broken inside now the bolt isn't tight it just keeps spinning

In my opinion, this scope was very poor. I had problems with assembly, and the scope did not work as described. My recommendation is you return it and put that money towards a better starwatcher. We were looking so forward to seeing the night sky, and were unable to have the telescope work. I hope this was helpful. In my opinion, the pieces not working as expected, is not worth replacing parts. I hope you can find one that will work for you. I, and other Amazon customers had dissatisfactory experiences when using this particular model. Happy new year!

I would assume you would have to contact manufacturer directly for a replacement. Surprised this happened, as I used one of the smaller bits to untighten/tighten CV bolts that hadn't been touched in 10 years--used a pneumatic ratchet on it and torqued considerably. You may have had a defective bit on a stuck fastener. I'd call/email the manufacurer and request a replacement.

I had the same problem. It is because it is not very long. I suggest you drill a half inch hole fore or aft of the pin going completely through and install a bolt and nut. That will take out any looseness and be very secure.

The threads are NPT and means they are tapered and not a straight thread like a bolt. The more you screw it in the tighter it gets.

The bolts that secure the blades together may have been screwed on too tight.

I used carriage bolts to hold it to the bench until the vise broke. (it doesn't take much for it to fracture)

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

I have yet to experience that problem but I would suggest a sporting goods or hardware store and maybe look for a similar part. You might want to consider calling the manufacturer to possibly score extra parts.

This is a left hand thread. It loosens opposite of normal. If that doesn't work you'll have to cut it off.

Sorry for the delay.We were away for a while.Yes just loosen the bolt a bit, not too much.

There should be some bolts with locking nuts on them at the swivel joints. I have had to loosen those just a very small amount. Also I have just moved it by hand to limber it up.

I went to the local big store and bought nylon washers. I added 1 to each side and that took care of the problem. Total of 4 washers, 1 on each end and each nut bolt combination. Good Luck

There is a nut at the end of the bolt attached to the quick release handle used to latch the frame. You can loosen this to release some tension on the latch. I would not suggest loosening it to much as this could cause the latch to inadvertently open.

your local bike shop should have some laying around. Next time either torque the screws more or use loctite.

Make sure all bolts are snug. And try not to push the piece into the stop too hard. It may be flexing some.

I had the same problem. To solve it, I put Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 on the six large bolts on the main, center post. You also need to shim the rotating foot treadles where they connect to the arm shafts. I used washers to make sure there was no left-right play where the arm shafts connect to the foot treadles.

hi there all u have to do is turn the top of the ratchet head clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten the bolt or un tighten the bolt but use the required socket to complete the job
