This method however is not quite so easy either. No need to release gripper clamping pieces so you dont need to readjust grippers or pretention. Likely you will not need any of these tools. Second method is to remove the bearing housing on the operator side. This could end up to be a job in excess of 6 hours for someone that knows what they are doing. This requires a tool to set the pretention, a degree wheel, a stud bolt for the degree wheel, a press zero gauge for GTO, pointer for degree wheel, proper setting for pretention and you need to know the proper gripper opening/closing times of the cylinder you are working on. This means that you will need to reset gripper pretension and gripper opening/closing times. Second you need to release all the clamping pieces for the grippers on the gripper bar so you can slide the gripper bar over.
Sometimes you get lucky and it comes right out. By sliding the gripper bar over you need quite a bit of tools.įirst you have to get the taper in out which is easier said than done many times. Not the easiest of jobs even if you have the right tools.ĭoesnt matter if your a professional and have done this many times or you just know 'tricks of the trade', its the end result that matters. Just letting you know what your getting involved with here. Highly suggest you call someone who's done this before. PM me and Ill see if I can help you finalize the settings. You're going to have problems resetting the positioning and pretensions. You'll make matters far worse and create huge expense for yourself if done haphazardly. Just clean/wire brush all components well before proceeding, leave snap ring and spacer on at drive side, you may use a gripper body and aluminum drift to work shaft over, but tread lightly. Too many learned tricks of the trade to go into using this forum. You know us independents, always doing things our own way.ĭripping sarcasm intended.

Shaft has to be moved towards gear side the full width of the lever, so yes, all gripper clamping pieces have to be loosened.Ī previous post(er) mentioned supporting the cylinder and removing bearing housing, may be easier, may not. You're on the low side of the cam in this case. Do you reset grippers on a large format after changing a cam follower? Maybe my mentors neglected to fill me in on the importance of doing so. As a matter of fact, I have seriously cautioned a number of guys in the past. If I felt there was a possibility that the grippers needed to be readjusted with the degree wheel after following my suggestions, I would have mentioned it.
