I tossed my Replay Pro into my bag and it kinda go squished to the point where it vibed pretty hard. Honestly it’s still playable, but I was wondering if there was a way to bend the axle back to smooth it out a bit.
So how’ve you Replay power users handled this?
It’s easier (and better) to just replace it. Screws are cheap.
(Unless of course you knocked the threads out of whack)
These caps kinda don’t come off, but I think I’ve minimized the vibe so it’s good enough, but might give someone who’s only played dead-smooth bimetals a heart attack
What do the caps have to do with the axle. In any event if the axle threads are screwed access to the caps is immaterial.
The Replays use a nut/bolt. The bolt is secured in place with some sort of glue/plastic that you have to break through to remove it.
I’ve done it several times to change cap colors, but I would only recommend doing it as a last resort since it can create vibe. Place the Replay pro half with the axle cap side down and just tap the axle with a hammer. The bolt will break free and push the cap out, then you can replace it.
Thanks. Didn’t know that.
