Help ( cp pro ) taking off main blade grip

[Warren]

Help,

I have snapped a part, and need to replace one of the main blade grips
(eflh1171) which have a bolt at either end ( of both grips ) - when I turn one - the other one turns, so I put a wrench in both ends and am unable to losen them at all - I have even put pliers on the wrenches and even with that leverage they will not come undone.........

I have looked at the parts blowup in the manual and it seems that they are both joined in the middle of the housing by a metal? tube or spindle (eflh1145)

the nuts that I am referring to are "socket head cap screws (eflh1159).

is there a trick to this that I am missing - it would appear that maybe at the factory they have used "locktite" or something similar ??

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated - I don't want to call "Horizon Hobbies", I have already talked to them once about something else and they dumped all over me for buying this helicopter to learn on - I guess they didn't enjoy the $300.00 or so dollars that I paid for it in the first place.

thanks,

Warren

I heated the nuts up with a soldering gun, and off they came :D

Theyre just amazingly tight. Like you said just get a set of pliers on each allen key and put your weight into it. The worst youre gonna do is break a wrench.

If you find you still cant get it undone,but Im sure you will. You can always cut it off using a dremmel. Just cut near the blade grip but cut the spindle. Theyre only a couple bucks. Just cut the blade grip thats already broken.

Another way that MIGHT work is if you have a heat gun then just heat that sucker up. The CF on the head and assembly can take a LOT o heat so dont be afraid to heat it up.

Another real awesome site to check out for amazing help with the Blade helis is rcuniverse.com Theres a blade section there that covers CX CP and Pro. No doubt someone else had your prob and got it fixed.

Thanks for your ideas, I guess we were both posting them around the same time :)

I hadn't thought of any of them until I saw that other article, especially cutting them off, good point !

thanks again,
