your gonna be doing a whole lotta shaking / vibrating on a laser tube,. YOU can get away with it, if your lucky, If your not you’re looking at $500 + $250 + $9 for a ‘screw’

Hi! Did that product solve your problem? I have the same issue! Did you by chance film how you repaired it? Thanks!

Yes, if your talking about the new screw. And no sorry we didn’t. We just bought a tool that is used to remove screws and put the new one. Sorry if it’s not much help.

Sorry just read through it
Yes. But we only used one of the tools

Thanks so much for the info! How did you get the top off of the wheel? Was the bolt easy to remove and replace? I apologize for all the questions but I’m on rapid fire…. Let’s talk tonight! Thanks again!

Please let us know how you got it off. Was it with the tap and die set? After you separated the laser tube?
