This video guides you through the process of replacing a plate within an assembly, emphasizing the correct orientation and the use of thread-locking fluid to secure the components.
Tools needed:
- Screwdriver (not mentioned but implied)
- Loctite (or another brand of thread-locking fluid)
Steps:
- Remove the Assembly: Leave the screw inside the knob and pull the whole assembly out.
- Insert New Plate: Position the new plate with the up-side up.
- Remove Old Screw: Take the old screw out, ensuring the washers stay inside.
- Insert New Screw: Apply locktite to the new screw and insert it.
- Align Notches: Ensure the notch on the plate corresponds with the notch on the device.
Note: The use of Loctite is crucial as it prevents the screw from loosening over time due to vibrations or use, which is especially important in mechanical assemblies. The notches serve as guides to ensure proper alignment during reassembly.
