Blade Grip Replacement
 

Got my Axe CP a couple of weeks ago and so far it's been great!! (OK, I still can't hover for more than a few seconds, But I'm still having fun) Anyway, today I had my first major crash and managed to break both blade grips. No big deal I have spares, BUT how do you get the bloody things off? I got the machine screw out of one end and can't get any farther. Can anyone give me some guidence on what I haven't dont or need to do get these replaced.

Thanks!! Jim

If you got one screw out and the grip on that side still doesn't come off the dried threadlock is still holding it on. The threadlock ends up glueing the bearing to the feathering spindle.

Here's what ya do. Partially thread-in the screw you removed back into the spindle, leave the screwdriver on the screw, and tap it with a small hammer. It should break free and from there the grip should come off. Good Luck!

THANKS!! I figured it was something easy, But didn't want to break anything else by doing it wrong!!
