Thanks Jonas.=C2=A0 I have replaced the adjustment screw, o-ring and retain=
ing clip before so I am familiar with the process.=C2=A0 I have been reluct=
ant to try Step 6, but it seems that with the grub screw out, it is possibl=
e to drive the entire works out, including the needle and carrier.=C2=A0 I =
may have to give that a try.=C2=A0 I have always been concerned about the i=
nternal threads on the needle carrier, but they may be more robust that I f=
eared.=C2=A0 =C2=A0I appreciate the response.David Gill1976 TR6
