How will I open to clean burrs

Curious if anyone else had a 2004 A-9 with screw in the back - that's not a screw. Looks like rivet with a small hole. Shaped like donut but hole indented, not through.

SOURCE: Think question cut off. Need to know how to remove "screw" in back to clean burrs. It is not a phillips head, maybe rivet.

there are a number of 'newer' drive configurations for modern fasteners specifically designed to limit consumers from doing their own servicing. Take the unit to your local tool dealer and get the proper tool. If it actually is a rivet, it will need to be drilled out and then replaced with a new one.

I am aiming to convert my new Range to LP and the first instruction is to remove the storage drawer. It looks to me like it is riveted in. What do I need to do to remove it?

I would check closely to be sure, oftentimes small torx are used. If you need to replace rivets they should be drilled out with a cordless drill and small drill bit at the center of the rivet. You have to go all the way through and then the rivet flange should wedge itself on the drill bit as it passes through. You can replace the rivets will small (self tapping) sheet metal screws of the same hole size to close it back up later. Remember to follow the mfr's instructions precisely when converting from Natural Gas to LP. Check for leaks using soapy water and disconnect the igniter by unplugging the power cord until you are sure it isn't leaking anywhere.

How do I access the pull cord on an Ariens 911072 to replace it?

If housing has screws you take the screws out and take the housing off but if the housing has rivets you take a small drill bit and a cordless or electric drill and drill the rivets out being careful not to make the rivet holes any bigger. Take the housing off and replace the cord then get some same size rivets and a rivet gun and replace the housing riveting it back on. Make sure the housing goes back on the same way it came out.

Hi guys, can anyone let me know the best way to remove the plastic chain guard from the swing arm of my 2004 YZ 125. it seems to be pop rivited onto the arm itself is this the norm ????

It may be pop riveted, I know on the WR the plastic guard is fitted in Australia, not Japan, and they use what is called a rivnut, which is like a rivet but leaves a thread to screw into.
So if it looks like a pop rivet, it may be.

I received a new lower burr grinder part from SAECO for my machine but no instructions on how to replace it. I know how to clean and replace the removable grinder part that fits into this. Do you have...

Hi
If you only got the lower burr it won't work. They should be matching burrs.
If you don't do it right, you will damage the grinder. You need a #10 Torex bit.

Insert the bit into the screw in the middle of a very clean grinder. Turn clockwise to loosen. Once the screw is out, pull the burr out, but be careful. There are ball bearings and springs under the burr. Make sure that everything is clean before reassembly. There are 3 holes in the bottom of the grinder. The springs go into the holes first. Then the ball bearings set on top of the springs. Place the new lower burr on top of the springs. A washer and the corkscrew go in next. Insert the screw in and with the bit in place turn (with a little down force) clockwise until the screw drops into place, then turn counterclockwise. It should turn fairly easy. Once you start putting pressure on the springs, try to turn the corkscrew. There is a notch that it slips into in the bottom of the grinder. Once it locks into place keep turning the screw until you start to turn the burr. That should be tight enough. Now reassemble the top burr and adjust.

How do you remove the roof rails on a 92 Camry SW? I was able to get the rack off but not the rails running the length of the roof. They appear to have rivets or some type of square drive screw heads on...

the rails are riveted or screwed to the roof screws are easy obviously,rivets need to be gently drilled out by a drill size that just is a tiny bit larger than the hole in the middle of the rivet and drill till the top of the rivet pops off(not much drilling required,then you need to block off all the holes otherwise the roof will rust through,you may need to clean and seal it carefully

I need to put the top vent back together electric fry pan

Fix #1
These are usually riveted on. If you can find a small enough aluminum pop rivet (most lids are aluminum), you could pin it back together with that. The tricky part is ensuring that the rivet allows the vent to rotate between the opened and closed positions. I suggest cutting out two pieces of non-corrugated cardboard from a cereal box and punching out a hole in each the same diameter as the rivet. Use one on each side of the lid for a washer for the rivet. Include an aluminum washer for the tail end of the rivet. Your parts stack from the inside of the lid should be rivet (head end), cardboard washer, vent piece, lid, cardboard washer, metal washer. The pop rivet will be compressed against the metal washer on the outside when you operate the riveting tool. I suggest having the head on the inside of the lid because it will be easier to clean.

After you compress the rivet, tear the cardboard washers out. The vent should now pivot correctly.

Fix # 2
Use a 2-56 x 1/4 stainless steel screw (or similar metric size) and two stainless steel nuts. Assemble the vent to the lid using the screw and one of the nuts. Tighten the nut only until it starts to drag on the vent, then back it off slightly. Next, put the other nut on. Hold the first nut in place and tighten the second nut down onto it to lock it in place on the screw. The vent should still turn freely, but the nuts won't come off without tools if you did it properly.

Do not use plated or plain steel hardware. These will contaminate your food.

My frigidaire microwave door is sagging and is about to fall off

EASY get a machine screw, nut with washer. I believe I used a 1/8" machine screw.....(find something small to fit in the hole on the bottom hinge.

First step, take 3 screws off bottom to expose hinge area. Have someone hold it or support it so wires to the light do not pull out,.

Pop the machine screw through the front and then with your fingers get the washer an nut and tighten down.
If you want the professsional look. Paint the machine screw white first with a enamel white paint.

I have w460 & i keep getting small holes in tee shirt type materials help!

most likley you have a rough surface in the drum, you may have had a underwire from a bra poking through one of the holes in the drum which has now distorted the hole allowing a sharp edge to protrude inward and damage the clothes. empty the machine use a torch if needed and rotare the drum looking at the surface for inperfections (dipmles in the reflection of the surface) once found use something wood or plastic to push the burr outward) away from the clothes I used to use a soft screw driver handle to move the burr away. if its not this then check the door gasket these can wear away and start to tear clothes but this usually looks more like a burn than a small hole.
