Wrist Pin Tool

[Chris Roady]

I will soon be in need of a wrist pin puller/installer for my 75/5. Does anyone have any recommendations on a specific brand of tool, or by chance one you would be willing to loan?

I know loaning tools is almost as risky as loaning books, so I completely understand if it isn’t something anyone would be interested in doing. If you would loan one, the borrow would come with a new tool guarantee if not satisfied with returned condition.

Thanks, Chris

Check directly with Larry Troffer or Paul Nelson.

What about posting on the Airhead forum?

Sorry for hyjacking this thread, but seems like I cannot access Sierra thread. I landed here because this page allowed me access. Why is this happening? I’ve raised this issue few times in the past. All board members will have moderator access, so they will NEVER find or have this issue. If this is happening to one user, let’s find out the cause.

I don’t use the Facebook, and this is the only face to our club communication, and we ought to make is easy to access and navigate. Sessions don’t persist, Well that’s a minor, but it would be user friendly.

So Bikram, are you unable to start a new topic with this issue? That would be more effective as the title would reflect the issue you are having.

Actually Chris Roady, who is a BOD member, has similar issues. It does not appear to be a get out of Jail Free Card.

There must be a more common thread as to why this happens. Rick?

Thanks Karl, I was able to get into other pages as I checked. Was not able to get into where I could create a new thread.

Yesterday Bill Reitz downloaded your Sierra files and forwarded to me via email.

It’s not about get out of jail card, but surprised that Chris Roady had a similar issue. So this means it may mean not be an access issue rather about user data persistancy. Because as a moderator I would not expect Roady to have any issues.

Since this is WordPress, and as a packaged solution it may have some inherent issues that one may not know until they surface. My take is purely from troubleshooting point of view on analyzing the behavior and narrowing down.

This is something the webmaster would have to dig in and figure out.

I’ve looked into this, but it is intermittent and hard to track down. It even happens to me as a site admin. Sometimes there is a specific forum that can’t be reached, and then later it can be. Go figure. The bottom line is that it is free software, it has bugs, and since we don’t pay we don’t have support. But the updates are almost weekly, so I keep my fingers crossed!

I occasionally have this problem, but it is invariably on my phone, not my desktop. The error message I get is that it says I’m not logged in and not authorized to view that particular forum (the one I’m trying to view). It recommends I join or log in. I go to log in and it says I am logged in. So, I believe it is somewhere between the logging in and the check to see if I’m logged in is where the problem might be.

Rick – Is there a support forum for the software?

[Bill Allen]

Chris – Go to an Airhead breakfast (next one in La Canada / Flintridge on the 16th). Attendance is still ramping up, but there were resources at the last few I’ve attended.

[Chris Roady]

thanks Bill … also looks like it would be really easy to make one once I know the diameter of the pin. I do want to make some of the airhead breakfasts regardless!

Bill, Rick,
The login problem happens to me 50% of the time, but only when using the Safari browser on macbook and iPhone. I never have the issue when using the Chrome or Edge browsers.

fabricated tool worked great

Congrats Chris…. or should we say McGyver? 🙂

[Bill Allen]

Nice!

[Chris Roady]

available for loan btw 😉

[Richard Catarineau]

Bill – Where and when is this Airhead breakfast in La Canada / Flintridge on the 16th?

[Bill Allen]

Hill Street Cafe on Foothill right at ACH

[Bill Allen]

Chris – Have you labeled the wrist pin tool yet?

[Chris Roady]

good idea Bill, will do. My suspicion is it won’t be in much demand, but it is available if anyone has a need.

[Richard Catarineau]

Bill – What time is the breakfast tomorrow?

[Bill Reitz]

Hey Rick, in case Bill doesn’t see your question the meeting is from 9am to 11 at the Hill Street Cafe. I got the info from:
