Pro II Custom Cross Rod

After pulling the rods out of my Pro II I noticed that The bellcrank (on the right) is not anchored squarly on the crossshaft. I wonder if it just slipped or would someone have set it up that way intentionally? Notice how one of the set screws is actually hitting the round part of the shaft. I would think I should start from scratch and square this up and make adjustments in the rod.

That is what I would do ,as the crank has obviously slipped around the flat on the shaft. I would also prolly clean everything and check the changer action to see if there is any drag on any fingers,and correct any probs if found....Stormy

I just finished cleaning the changer fingers and tuning head. Now I'mm going to clean everything on the underside.

Those original pullers are two pieces pressed together. Some loosen up and will pull out of alignment. You can square it back up and put a little tack weld to keep it honest, or just replace it. The new replacement ones I make are CNC'ed out of one piece steel, so that problem can never happen again. Lemme know if I can help.
