550B Link Arm Pivot?
Quote from Reloader on January 12, 2015, 2:58 amI took my older 550B completely apart to clean it and lube it up. When I reinstalled the "Link Arm Pivot" into the "Crank" and tightened the "nylon nut", it locks the "Link Arm Pivot" to the "Link Arms". Is that supposed to happen? My link arms have small grease holes in them. If they are not supposed to move freely, why have the grease holes? Or am I supposed to not tighten the nuts all the way down and leave play so that the "Link Arm Pivot" can rotate?
Make sense?

I just spoke to someone at Dillon and he knew exactly what I was talking about. He said to tighten the locknuts down till the pivot pin can NOT turn in the link arms. The crank still pivots because there are shoulders on the pivot pin. Thanks!
