Of course I discover something after close of business. I am installing the 3/4" extension to the vacuum pad, the kit comes with a longer spine drive coupler (green bit) for the SD20. The spline drive shaft fits on the the coupler via 8 studs built into the spline drive. My dilemma is that 4 of the studs have a little elongation on them, which I suspect holds the drive to the coupler so it can't fall out.
I know some of you have installed this kit, what is the trick to getting the drive off the coupler? The green part seems to stretch but I don't want to destroy the drive. Unlike the other products from B&C this does not come with very good instructions (the extension kit).
Thanks for any help, I am hoping to get something done on this over the weekend.
Cheers.
Here are the two couplers, I need to move the drive from one to the other
This shows the elongation, essentially that stud has a little tab built into it so it overhangs after inserting it.
