I've got a Craftex CX 601 (rebranded g0704). The plastic high low gear stripped and I started to disassemble the head to get to it.
Part of the process is tilting the head to remove the access plate on the rear of the head. All went normal until I tilted the head. It stops at roughly 45 degrees. No problem says I, I'll just tilt it the opposite way to get the last screw out.
Well, I go to raise the head and "thunk". One of the bolts is hitting something behind the head and stopping the head from rotating. At this point, I can't even put the head back to vertical. It's stubbornly stuck at 45.
I've tried just about everything I can with regards to the bolts: tighten them, try to gently move them around as I lift the head, turn and pulling case the bolt head needs to drop into a boss on the back, etc. Nothing works. The head is firmly stuck in the 45 degree position.
What am I missing?
This is so frustrating I'm just about to loose my mind......I can take apart and put together supersonic aircraft but I can't figure out what is stopping this friggin head from tilting?
Arrrrgghhhh!!!!!
