Record 34p vice restore

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bluechip:
If you have a screwdriver bit to fit a sq. drive socket wotsit they're fairly easy to remove.
With an ordinary driver you cannot usually get straight on to the buggers, neither can you get enough torque.

Put the bit in the slot. then almost close the jaws on the ratchet thingy. The bit cannot cam-out 'cos the other jaw stops it. Crack it off then do the others likewise.

Did mine a few weeks ago, so I can now fit ally soft jaws when required instead of the serrated 'bar-chewer' edition they come with.

( Record #3 in my case)

EDIT oops, sorry, noticed you've got it apart ....  :doh:

Ohh that's clever. I can put it back together and try that out though.

millwright:
A nice restoration job, you cant beat a quality vice.

Gave it a go but it just swaged the screw metal out. I think those screws are in there for good.

Bluechip:
Ah well ...  :(  Mine came out with a startling crack when they let go but they did come out ...

You did use a blade same width as the screw slot length I hope?  Otherwise it will chew the centre out of the slot. I assume the leverage occurs near the ends
