I want to take a look inside, I think there is a problem with the capstan belt...


I've unscrewed everything and am ready to take off the front plate, however, this guy is preventing it from opening...

Seems to be a locking washer, that is very difficult to remove. How can I get this off without causing any damage?
;)
 
There is a slot at the tip of the shaft for a common screwdriver (Blue arrow). Leave the snap ring in place and just unscrew the whole thing.

Small falt blade scredriver, pry it against the post just a little and it can slide right off the post. Flatten it back down and it goes back on. There's also a threaded collar you'll have to remove under the headstack cover on the right-hand side (I'd have to look at home)..I use some d-ring pliers with some longer extensions.
 
Thanks Tim! I don't know how I managed to miss that, haha... :o
 
They still had them last time I looked. About $8.00 U.S. each I think.

Part number 5533260000

What Rick said works too. I just found unscrewing the whole thing was an easy shortcut for me. In some cases the shaft may be rusted, so it would be better to slide the ring off. Same procedure works for other small-frame X-series, like the X-3, X-300 and Realistic TR-3000.

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

:)

Glad it all worked out Fred. I was mistaken on the little threaded collar...that's on the 22-4 at the speed control knob shaft.
