My reply to Bob's post apparently got lost in the ether... The angle drive nut retaining ring isn't hard to remove. I popped mine out 3 times as various repairs to the factory unit were attempted (repair #3 is still going strong BTW). The method: - Use two 1/8" straight blade screwdrivers, as long as possible - Use good light (the ring is hard to see) - Catch a cut end with one screwdriver and pry out of its groove. This screwdriver remains in place thereafter - Slide the other screwdriver next to the first, under the ring of course - Wiggle the second screwdriver around the ring, popping the ring out of its groove. As soon as you get half way round, it will pop the rest of the way out on its own Bill Robertson #5939 >--- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "joeyoseppi" <joeyoseppi@xxxx> wrote: > Bob, > > Thanks for the technical "tip" on how to remove the nut on the angle > drive.
