Hi Roland, So I don't need to disengage the clutches or the gear box? I can definitely tap with the best of 'em :) cytan

Tap the Allen wrench with a hammer and it will loosen the adapter.

I just received the new AP1100 CW shaft adapter with SS insert and I want to replace the existing one without the SS insert. I removed the CW shaft and my telescope and then in the park 3 position, I inserted an allen wrench into the holes of the adapter and applied some force. Nothing moved. I didn't want to apply more persuasion because I was afraid to damage the gears because the clutches were still engaged and so were the spring loaded gear boxes. So before, I apply more persuasion, what is the safe way to do this without damaging anything? Thanks for any advice. cytan -- Roland Christen Astro-Physics
