Worn out spiderjack body...

[Arran Turner]

If it's of any use, this is what my last body looked like with a new pin when I replaced it.

 

 

 

Dude the picture isn't working but keen to see how far you let it go into the pin

[Arran Turner]

Hi Arren how's you doing bud? Mite not solve the problem which you have but try a COCOON PULLY instead of a cam/saver. You will notice a big difference in every way but most of all self tending and could possible help with the wear and tear on the mechanism

 

 

Need a pully saver or similar soon, I'm all good man. Got just under 4 months left in NZ then back to the uk for a few of months. Hope all is well your end and business is going well

How about now? Basically if it doesn't slip you're fine. Replacing the pin early on is probably best, as I doubt the one pictured would last a week the amount of friction it will be encountering.

Also using a pulley saver definitely helps to stop it from slipping, I guess there's less resistance up top and so more friction in the actual device, which helps to ensure the cam grips well. Or something?

I would say you're right there squirrel. Did you have any issues getting the pin out as I've just tried to do mine and it feels like its going to round the head off

[Mr. Squirrel]

It isn't a screw, push it out from the other side. The allen head is to align the pin on insertion
