[DML] Re: angle drive snapped (I think)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just this afternoon lubricated my angle drive. I usually use a 15"
adjustable (BIG) wrench but I tried the 1 1/4 open end and it seems to
fit nicely. I had to loosen the big nut because my angle drive
wouldn't turn so I took it off and cleaned it up till the nut turned
on the drive. Now I should be able to turn it to lube it without
loosening the big nut. The origional drive is pretty rinky-dink but if
you keep it lubed up it should last for a while. For all of you out
there you need the bracket that holds the lower cable. If it is
missing it puts more strain on the angle drive. Using a big wrench
makes it easier to tighten the big nut enough.
