Hi all, Not sure what your specific issue is but mine was the screw and nut sheared on the pivot bearing. As I write this the pivot bearing is being repaired by boring out the sheared part and welding in a new part. Because I pounded the bearing off of the crank arm I also took that to them - I also bought 2 new bearings. As long as its apart might as well put new parts in now. Than they will press the part back onto the arm and that's it. Any decent machine shop should be able to do the work. I can't see dumping the whole machine either.
Hope this gives you some hope.
