[QUOTE="tighbuidhe, post: 800496, member: 182498"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff]Well unfortunately it didn’t quite go to plan [/COLOR][/SIZE]:mad:[SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] A good tight fit on the serrated shaft but the split is still there between the teeth, infact there are two now [/COLOR][/SIZE]:-ohcrap [SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] [/COLOR][/SIZE][ATTACH]48586.IPB[/ATTACH][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] It looks like the gear, although small, is moulded in different sections with a small space, probably for expansion between the centre collar and the outer 20 tooth gear ring piece. When it spins the teeth do not engage properly with the vertical worm which has the circular magnet on top and this is enough to stop the actuator. [/COLOR][/SIZE][ATTACH]48587.IPB[/ATTACH][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] After many nights of 'goggling' I have bought a spare part for a model car which has a similar outer diameter and number of teeth although the centre will have to be carefully drilled out by another mm. [/COLOR][/SIZE][ATTACH]48588.IPB[/ATTACH][SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] Until this arrives, or anyone has any other thoughts, I think I will content myself by servicing the rest of the actuator. Many thanks to Rick for the info in this thread _http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dish-setup-guides-information-threads-faqs/171227-refurbishing-actuator.html Thanks for all your assistance so far guys and no doubt I will be back when I hit the next snag [/COLOR][/SIZE]:-cheers [SIZE=3][COLOR=#0000ff] .......this thread delivers [/COLOR][/SIZE]:-thumb1 [/QUOTE]
