Retract Problem

[Peppercorn]

Hi

I have a set of mechanical Robart Retracts. I have been mucking around with them adjusting the servo's etc to get them just right.
But with all the mucking about, heating and bending the shafts for the wheels etc, the shafts have become very loose in their housing. So much so that the shafts can fall out when the retracts are in the down position.

What my question is What is the best method of glueing? soldering? the shafts back into their respective housings??? Maybe Loctite??

Thank for any help!

If you're talking about where the gear goes into the retract, there should be a set screw. You can also grind a flat spot where the set screw meets the rod. This keeps it from rotating, and keeps the set screw tight. Also, blue loctite on the screws.

Peppercorn,
If you're having trouble setting up your Robarts here is a thread I did on installing mechanicals. Hope it helps.
