Title: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: TheGarbageHunter on October 03, 2015, 06:08:22 pm I removed the spanner screw but the darn thing still will not come off???

Post by: Creighton on October 04, 2015, 03:24:16 am Without pics not sure. In general parts that won't come loose are blocked by extra paint rust and such... and a strong chance of other issues.

Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: SIGNGUY on October 05, 2015, 09:08:28 am I think there is a set screw in there too somewhere... can't recall exactly
I do remember having trouble removing them too but when finally done it was like :oops: oh that was easy.. :tounge: Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: TheGarbageHunter on October 05, 2015, 10:31:15 am Thanks for the tips guys.

Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: Troy S on October 05, 2015, 12:21:27 pm You have to remove the set screw on the bottom of the handle, then with a spanner wrench, remove the nut on the front. Then it just pulls off by pulling straight ahead. If not, you will need penetrating oil shot in behind the spanner nut and probably heat, since the handle is pretty tight on the shaft to begin with. Rust is the only thing holding it on. Good luck!

Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: MoonDawg on October 17, 2015, 04:55:55 pm Looks like it is just pressed in and secured with the 2 fasteners.
Can you make a tool similar to a wheel puller? Have it hooked to the back of the housing, tighting the bolt pushes the coin mech shaft through the handle body. Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: Creighton on October 19, 2015, 04:02:30 am Well I'd spray with PB Blaster, let that soak 48hrs tap with a hammer. Repeat. It will break loose at some point.
Best of luck!! Creighton Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: SIGNGUY on October 19, 2015, 09:03:02 am Yeah pretty sure it's just stuck... I think I used some heat on the shaft part.. scorched the paint but no biggy as was being restored.
the handle I think is pot metal so don't put heat on that.. heat, tap, repeat.. Title: Re: Jacobs 26 Handle, does anyone know how to Remove it? Post by: Creighton on October 20, 2015, 01:42:13 am If the handle is pot metal I would be careful heating the metal shaft. Too hot and it could expand enough to break the pot metal.
