Houston we have a problem

[bigboi146]

So I have a castle neu 2200 with a pinion stuck on it. The set screw is completely stripped and I have no way of getting it off. I want to run my truck but not with this bumb a$$ 9xl what should I do? ( I have no demmel)

[skellyo]

No drill to drill out the set screw?

[JoFreak]

Do you have a handsaw?
You could try to get a slot into the set screw and get it out with a flat head screwdriver.
Or you could try a slightly bigger torx and drive it into the striped set screw with a hammer to unscrew it.

I suggest you buy a Dremel tool.

+1 for that...it is a must have

Usually you can pry the pinion off the shaft (slide it off the front).

i had to cut my pinion gear off the shaft with a dremel. it was the only pinion gear i had besides my (now broken) rcm gear that i had just gotten that fit and wasn't worn out.

there is one last option that may have not been suggested, hope i'm not too late.

if you have a drill press (vertical drill, whatever) and a good one, not just a toy dremel one or a hand drill stuck in a holder one, a manly bench mounted one.

you can actually fabricate a pair of struts that sit across under the pinion and then using the drill press with an up-side-down drill in it, you can push the motor/shaft away from the pinion.
this is how i do it but i have access a lot of large machinery, a nice new lathe is comming soon, 2.5 tonns of awsomeness (spins up to 2ft diameter jobs )
