I having trouble with removing the Allen screw lock nut. Need to use a 3/8 socket/allen and need to verify it loosens clock wise before I damage unit.

Mine was very tight the first time I put on a new blade, after that, it was much easier. Just stick with the counter clock wise

Thank you both...took a 3/8 ratchet to break the bond. Who tightens these things? Again thanks

I don't know what exactly it could be but, the OEM nut came off without having to work very hard so when I reinstalled the new sensor I just estimated how hard it was to get off. Basically just torqued it down to finger tight and then two and half turns which made it pretty darn snug. Haven't had any issues yet! Sorry I can't help more.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

Might have to use a longer allen wrench. Then the one that come with it. I grabbed mine with a pair of pliers. I have a bad wrist tho.

Is this a trick question? The right way. LOL. Using the supplied allen wrench, loosen the nut by turning clockwise while pressing the blade lock. Remove the blade and replace in the reverse order.

Hi. I am not sure but the threads might be left handed so try turning the allen wrench in the opposite direction. You also might have to secure the chuck in a vise or have someone hold it with a large set of pliers while you loosen the allen bolt.

LOL, that got me too! Actually it just screws on, but it is reverse screw (counter clockwise). Google the model and see the instructions because it is tricky to get the old one off and the new one on. I tried several times, but finally succeeded. Good luck.

Hi Karen. Open the chuck and remove the screw in the center of the chuck and then put the allen into the chuck and tighten the chuck. You then lay the drill on a counter and then strike the allen wrench counter clockwise, the chuck and allen must turn counter clockwise at the same time. It might be tight so be persistant. You can do this. hoped this helped Bill.

On 2 of the u bolts i put tamper proof nuts...you can get them at a local hardware store..just bring u bolt to match thread size...but i can tell you it takes alot to get this off. Even without any security

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

try one of the sockets. If I recall correctly, I used the bits together with a ratchet and a socket.

Pry off the half that does not have the LED in it. My two units came apart using just my fingernail to grab it. It is quite a solid fit, but nothing I needed tools for.

redo it again, start off at a different position when you start to screw it on, it should fit exactly on there. are you using the crusher nut too? there are a few youtube vids on it too broski

It is kinda tricky. find the exact spot and to tighten turn clock wise. It took a little while to find the right area to tighten. pull all the way up and keep trying. good luck

not sure what you mean. 5 bezel I expect you to mean at the top where the light bulb is. I'm not aware that this comes off and it is not indicated in the instructions. If you mean unscrewing it in the middle below the adjustment ring, mine works very smoothly just as it does at the bottom of the flashlight battery compartment. If either one of those has thread problems, then yes you may have a defective unit that should be replaced

Raise it as high as it will go and look behind the monitors inside the arm and you will see the hex head of a bolt. Use the 8mm socket that you got with the unit and tighten it in a clockwise direction. For the first few weeks of use you may have to repeat this until the unit is broken in. once you get to that point it should be fine

I use a 13/16" socket with a 1/2" drive on a extension bar, fits the locking key, take locking nut into a hard wear store and try it on a spider wrenchthe staff are very helpful when it comes to things like this.
