I've got one for y'all : months ago, while I had a little extra change, I stocked up on scratch build supplies and parts, for future Projects.
I purchased 5 or 6 all-different Motors, to experiment with and learn from. Here's my problem : one of those motors, a Piranha 21.5k, ( I love the Piranha motors, 21.5 and especially the 25k) ended up in my "Old Junk Motors and Motor Parts" container ! This is a Brand New Motor, mind you !
What happened was that as I was installing the pinion onto the shaft, I somehow pushed the pinion All The Way up against the motor. Pinion and shaft spin beautifully, but there is literally No Space between the pinion and the end of the motor, to get anything in there, to move the pinion !!
I might mention, that I have my own ways of pushing pinions on, and have a couple of ways of "pulling" them off. This is because, I purchased a pinion puller for small motors, that turned out to be Just A Fraction, too big ! I was so pissed and frustrated, after spending my money ! So I never bought another puller. I found a guy on youTube that has a simple, but Effective, method of getting pinions off.
But as I said, it's All The Way, up against the motor, with no way to get anything lodged in there. The only thing I can see to do, is destroy the pinion, to possibly get it off.
I'm about to begin a Build, that this motor would be perfect for, so I brought it back out. I'd like to use this pinion gear, and not have to use my one last pinion that I have left. I'm making my next Order tomorrow, but all those supplies and parts won't get here, until the end of this week, at the earliest.
All I need to do, is move the pinion, back near the end of the motor shaft, and I'm good to go ! I know just the position on the shaft, where it needs to be, just by eyeballing it !
Any ideas, hobbyist's ??
