I am having trouble removing the spur center and the faceplate. The manual doesn't have the proper instructions to do so. How would I go about that?

First step : loosen BOTH set screws on the face plate. Next, rotate the face plate whilst pushing in the spindle lick button. When it locks, you can then hold in the spindle lock button & use the face plate wrench to loosen the faceplate, then screw it off. If that doesn't work, contact their technical support. They're really great.

You should use the spur with a face plate. Drive the spur out of the face plate from the threaded end with a brass punch and hammer.

The 4 answers give accurate information. Don't forget to get the nylon washer. That is half the battle.

The spur is removed by inserting the chrome knockout bar thdough the spindle from the outboard side and gently tapping. Hold the spur carefully as it pops out it is sharp.The face plate is removed by locking the spindle and using the large yellow wrench to remove the faceplate from the spindle. The faceplate has a grub screw make sure it is backed out enough to prevent damage to the spindle threads

The face plate screws into the spindle of the lathe. To get it off you need to hold in the spindle lock button and rotate the face plate off. As I recall there are also set screws on the face plate that comes with the lathe, so make sure these are unscrewed. The face place can be difficult to remove if you are not using a nylon washer. The metal to metal contact can stick. I think you have a wrench that came with the lathe that can be used on the face plate to rotate it off. Give it a hit with a rubber mallet as it may be sticking. I think the spur center uses a #2 Morse taper so you need to use the tool (a long poker that fits into the end of the tail stock or head stock. Just give it a good hard push in to knock out the center. I have this lathe but do not use the face plate or centers that came with it. They are not so good. Buy different ones . Hope this helps.

The spur center knocks out with the knock out rod that comes with the lathe. The open end wrench that comes with the lathe is for the face plate. You have to lock the spindle by pushing the spindle lock button and either hold it down or slide the cover over the button. Once it's locked you can loosen the faceplate with the wrench then unscrew it the rest of the way by hand. Be sure to unlock the spindle before you turn the lathe on.

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).

Take the slide off the frame. With a small screwdriver slide the old plate down, and reinstall the new one. Hope this helps.

This part is all you need. It sould come with two tools tools.you will also need a hair dryer to warm up the glue around the edges.the unit is kind of fragile so be very careful when removing the faceplate. The connections are also very fragile. the sure to remove the tape from the connections. I found a video on the internet that was very helpful. Search YouTube for your brand and model.I hope this was helpful and good luck

Hello, James. To take off the cutter head, simply turn it at a right angle to its existing position and pull it off. To replace it, place it back on the spring in the same right angle position, push down, and twist back to its original position. Email me if you still have problems. ameliasmra@yahoo.com Dave

If you are referring to the problem I had it was my installation of it. I figured it out after the first time I put it in. Remove the knob. Remove the boot and bezel. Install boot on the bezel then install it as a unit. It will snap right in. Install knob. Note .... it will be kinda tight to shift for a little bit but that to will go away. I put this bezel on my 98 tj. I hope this helps.

Michael,I received my lathe back in November along with a face plate, a spur center and a live tailstock. It also included a knockout rod for the center and tailstock. The lathe has worked flawlessly! The only thing you will need to do is turn the head stock around and install the belt (it comes packaged that way). Hope this helps.

It comes with the spring and reset gear. You use your old faceplate. The instructions are poor, so I had to go on YouTube on how to place the gear correctly. Hope this helps.

Dremmel/grind down the top cover retaining pin, so that you can remove it completely. You can get a new pin later if you want to go back.

Yup. Either file it down or chisel it. I actually used a straight slot screwdriver and a hammer to shave it bit by bit. Doesn't have to be custom, you can't even see it after you mount the carb.

I had the same problem. If you can't remove it by pulling it as hard as you can. Return the control.If you try to pry it off the control will become damaged. The problem is the clip holding the knob on the stem istoo tight, the hole on the knob needs to be a hair larger

Have you taken off the metal bracket? You should watch YouTube videos on how to change angel eyes on an E90. That's how I figured out how to do it �

M109riders.com is a forum for our bike. I'm not sure what the actual thread title is, but it will be easy to find instructions. Tools needed, procedures, etc. you'll need a buddy, it's really best with 4 hands on wrenches. Ugsurveyor123@gmail.com if you'd like to ask anything more.

It requires soldering - it's not a simple remove and replace. There are some YouTube videos out there, but unless you're very comfortable with soldering, suggest you buy a new unit.
