I suppose that'll work, I just assumed the left side was threaded. I suppose it could just be a pass thru with a nut on the end. -Al -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 3:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Emptying Wave Solder Pots...an update Probably install it from the other direction, since the other side had much greater clearance. -----Original Message----- From: Al Onderick [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 14-Jun-05 2:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Emptying Wave Solder Pots...an update If you cut the bolt off to remove it, How do you plan to get the new one back in ??? -Al -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 3:11 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Emptying Wave Solder Pots...an update Hi Werner! No problem! Use my pictures however you see fit. I have an update to our little saga... Got most of the pot emptied, we were hoping that we didn't have to completely empty the whole thing, just enough to where we could get to where the waveformer hold down bolts are connected to the nozzle so that we could loosen and replace them. Lo and behold, when we got the solder down to the level where we could work on replacing the bolts, Electrovert had a nice little surprise for us! Go to: http://www.stevezeva.homestead.com and click on "Picture Page 2", then look for; "Hold down Bolt". As you can see, Electrovert assembled the nozzle and waveformer hardware such that you can't remove the bolt that the waveformer hold-down bolts pivot on. The only way to remove that bolt is to remove the whole rotary nozzle (trust me, you DON'T want to do that), or just cut the bolt and replace it with a new one, then put the bloody thing back together like it should of been put together in the first place. GRRRRRR! So my maintenance tech is off to Lowes to get us a new bolt... But we do have some pretty solder ingots! While you were at my page did you look at "Pretty Solder"? Looks nice huh?
