probably, never tried it, might be abit of a faff though! Got to be careful not to damage the spring clip things.

Allan../ Jonno you were right....was just binding on the bearing...hit it with bit of wood and came out soon after !
Broke 2 of the retainers (the middle clip ) - copied the magnet retaining method off Adrian (Eruption) so the magnets wont shift. So will probably araldite the clips in just to make sure the dont drift out and hit the fan.....might even consider a small nut and bolt to hold them in (thru the clips that are missing !).

So I feel like a proper roboteer now having modided my 1st Bosch ! 1 more to go on Maelstrom before total rebuild of the back end as they will stick out 1/2 more than the old littons and also new 1st stage gearing to take the new motor shafts.

Good experince before doing the 2 new 750s for the new heavy.

Busy weekend me thinks.....but as the team principal at Uni (ant weights in bristol i think ?) so wont having anyone telling me how it should be done.

Cheers Ian.

Re: Attaching a gear to a Bosch 400

With regard to fitting sprockets or gears to shafts I use the method of drilling along the shaft so half the hole is in the shaft and the other is in the sprocket then tap the hole and fit a cap head (hex-socket) screw in with some stud lock.
As you can imagine with Saint with all that forwards and backwards movement the drive takes a hammering, most other methods would eventually fail.
And to remove the sprocket you just undo the bolt!
