rear handle on KE7

[Doug Wilson]

Anyone tried putting a Wizard handle on the back of a KE7 would nice to have something to hold onto
on the back of one? Might not look like it belongs there but could not hurt.

Also how do you get the bearing out of the lower bearing holder on a KE7?

how is it motors multiply when the garage lights get
turned off?

I turn bearing carrier upside down loose in vice, old leather jacket on ground under it, and heat carrier around bearing in a circular motion with a propane torch. most of time bearing will just drop out into leather jacket. Propane likely wouldn’t heat carrier to point of damaging carrier but dont stay in one spot too long. There are shims. Make sure you keep track of them. Usually also fall into leather jacket for me or stay in carrier.

As far as handle goes, it should work. They also sold an accessory handle that bolted to trim ring. They show up once in a whole.

yes it will fit I have them just need to replace the studs with longer studs.

not sure where the shims should have been but there were no shims in there that I could find

If you had none don’t worry

Now I am starting to wonder if they got into shimming after the KE7… I have had 2 KE7’s apart not to far in the past and neither of those had shims as well.

quote Dave Bernard:

Or in the case of KE7, longer bolts. My KE7’s had bolts as opposed to nuts and studs.

[dave-bernard]

it originally had studs. either way they need to be replaced with longer ones. I have the handles

Dave got busy with another project will give you a call tomorrow
