Default Murphy was an Optimist.. Blew the 5914 Varidrive again...sigh

Meaning something cracked and fell off.

Ya know that long 3/8 rod with the nut that the hydraulic sytsem pulls
against to squueeze the bottom cones together?
There is a disk at it's the far end burried in the cones, the one that's
held in place by the snap ring.

Well there is a roll pin that hold the disk on 3/8 rod. The 3/8 rod
crystilized where the roll pin goes through.

What "Fell Off" is the hydraulic "box" and outter cone....

I'm about 1/2 way through the fix... 6 inch grade 5 bolt... leave head on
bolt.. silver brase together...

Stand by..

This time the hydraulic ram shaft crystilized where the roll pin holds it
onto the disk, go figure....


Meaning something just cracked and fell off?

I'm not visualizing what happened.
