Pinion wont budge!!!
I tried to change my pinion last night but the bloody thing wont come off!!! I dont want to bend or damage my motor by keep leaving it off with force!
Any suggestions folks? (and yes I have taken the grub screw out   )Also tried to fit a HD servo spring but I seem to have striped the steering assembaly. Is there a special way of fitting these? Thanks Craig.

The servo savers are a bit poo to be honest, once you built it, if you take it apart its 50/50 whether its going to go back together or not.
I think I have some glue in mine and carefully put the bolt back in. might be a new servo saver needed tho ? I know you have to press really hard to get the spring compressed enough to screw it in, but if its stripped its stripped. I think you need somet called a pinion puller, I think its a little contraption of some sort. someone might have one they can bring along to a race to do your motor ? not sure. I'd stick the pinion in some pliars hanging over the edge of a desk, and put a driver over the motor shaft and belt it with a hammer! but, im jimmy :jimmeh

To get the pinion lose, you don't necessarily have to try to knock it away from the motor ;-)
I'd hold/clamp the motor with the pinion facing up and give it a tap with a hammer, making sure the back of the motor shaft was supported and making sure I only hit the pinion. That will probably loosen it so it just falls off as normal hopefully

Pinion puller is the best way though, it clamps round the pinion onto the back face, then a set screw tightes against the end of the shaft and pulls the pinion off slowly not damaging anything. Where are you based as I know Vermin has one so you could use it at Durham on Sunday?
