Fixing a sticking plastic sleeve in an EFP center post that impedes sled adjustment
22 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A sticking plastic sleeve inside the center post can make raising or lowering the sled difficult.
- The plastic sleeve has two holes for fastening, while the exterior clamp typically has only one hole.
- The upper hole in the plastic sleeve receives a screw, while the lower hole receives a pin that locks the post in place.
- A missing screw in one of the plastic sleeve holes may cause adjustment problems and should be checked.
Depends on
- The solution applies specifically to second-hand EFP rigs where original hardware may be missing or worn.
- No definitive resolution was documented in the thread.
- No detailed maintenance or lubrication procedures were provided to resolve the sticking issue.
