Pitch Slider Lock Washer Tips
« on: September 06, 2011, 11:31:47 PM »
The lock washer works very well if you follow these simple tips.

- Loctite Bearing Ring with Bearings and Pitch Plate on to Brass Pitch Slider
- Flatten the lock washer in a vise or arbor press.
- Press the lock washer on to brass pitch slider using a socket with the same outer diameter as the lock washer. Be careful not to press the lock washer on too far as it will make the bearings bind.
- Apply medium CA in between the teeth of the lock washer.
