Hello, I have a franie centrifuge and a few days ago the rubber holding the engine broke. I have to pull out the drum to get to the bottom, but I can't because removing the cover blocks a plastic brake at the top, connected to a rod and a rubber cap at the bottom. Does anyone know how to...

- after all it is disassembled. - the brake is inside the engine. What you can see in the picture is the switch mechanism and there is no screw; there is only a cotter pin, after which the switch cam is pulled up. Why bother. You can replace the engine hanger without disassembling this mechanism. But if you want to make a mess ...

Take another picture of the brake at the top from a horizontal position facing the end that goes into the housing.

Was this the photo you wanted? The first photo down (the rod at the bottom probably has a rubber cap). Second photos are the top where it enters the plastic handle.

I was more concerned with the plastic handle as it is connected to the rod, looking above the lid to see if there is a pin that connects the shaft to the handle. I used to replace the rubbers that held the drum, but it was a few or maybe ... ten years ago and I don't really remember.

Unfortunately, it cannot be checked, because there is no gap between the handle and the cover to see how it is mounted, and the handle has no bolts, pins, screws, etc. I tried to feel with my hand but I did not feel anything moving.

If you are sure that this is the case, then everything that is put there must unscrew from the bottom of the knob. It must be sprayed with a rust remover, eg WD.

What for? The engine hanger can be replaced from the bottom by removing only the bottom cover.

Heh. Sometimes it is necessary, especially when someone has untrained hands Warning ! New hangers available on the market, sometimes differing in length from the originals.

The bottom cover cannot be removed because it is welded to the structure, I also cannot unscrew the brake from the bottom, I sprayed it, but the screw is irregular in shape and it won't unscrew. (picture)

Tap with a hammer and then use a Mors pliers or similar instead of a wrench.

Well, because it is: And in the above photo hangers can be seen. Yes. Taking it off makes the job easier, but to take it off you have to activate additional brain ganglia Some alien hit the forum And that's it.

Hello, I have a franie centrifuge and a few days ago the rubber holding the engine broke. I have to pull out the drum to get to the bottom, but I can't because removing the cover blocks a plastic brake at the top, connected to a rod and a rubber cap at the bottom. Does anyone know how to disassemble the brake and remove the cover? I plan to remove the cap at the bottom of the brake, but it rusted and I am afraid that there will be a problem with reassembly later. One more question - how to unscrew the plastic cap? I tried to unscrew while holding the screw on the bottom, but I don't want to move.

Responses suggest taking additional photographs for clarity, using rust remover like WD-40, and tapping with a hammer to loosen stuck screws. Some participants note that the engine hanger can be replaced without fully disassembling the brake mechanism, while others emphasize the need for careful handling due to the irregular shape of the screws involved. The bottom cover is reported to be welded, complicating the disassembly process.
