Just dissassembled my E9th mechanism on my Emmons Legrande II. Its about 20yrs. old... I noticed minor damage on one side of the cross rod, such as grooving or galling. I have always used AMSOIL to keep my mechanism lubed after cleaning with Liquid Wrench. I will try to clean it up with scotchbright and Liquid Wrench. Hopefully I can reuse it. Also, I noticed one of the bushings which goes between the fingers was drilled off-center. I think it will be ok though.
Thoughts???

Turn the changer shaft 1/2 way around. Gives a fresh surface, good for another 20 years.  |

Use fine steel wool (if you must) but absolutely NO Scotchbrite!!!
However, the suggestion to simply rotate the shaft 180 degrees is a good one, since all the string tension is applied to only one side of the shaft. |

| Interesting comment on the AMSOIL Wayne. I use it in all of my farm and landscaping equipment...never thought about lubing my pedal steel with it. I'm real impressed with its lubrication qualities in engines and transmissions. |

You mean like this
600 grit wet/dry sandpaper, A little elbow grease, and then polished with semichrome.
When it's that bad, I don't think rotating the axle would help much. This axle was from the E9 changer. The C6 axle looked brand new! |
