gear wheel on motor shaft removal??

elDiablo79

Hi can anyone tell me how to remove the gear wheel on the shaft of the motor for my M4? its worn and needs to be replaced or do i have to buy a new motor? thanks

On some there is a small little grub screw on the side that you need to loosen and then remove the gear. On other's it is friction fit and you will need to clamp it (carefully, while ensuring not to damage the motor) to remove it)

I've removed them in the past using a dremel aswell, if the gear is worn out and going in the bin anyway, but again, be careful not to damage the motor shaft.

Yes, both AEG's use V2 gearboxes, so switching them out should be no problem.

You've probably sorted it by now but a good old mechanic tip is to heat it on a burner or gas cooker and pull it off with a pliers,.

They are rock solid, the shim jobs can be a bit off but they are generally fairly good, just remember to get it downgraded when you import it, if you do!

You just change the spring to a lower power one, you can get it done in most airsoft retailers.

You could always get a new gear set, it would cost less that a new gearbox.

i bougt the gear box it from ehobby asia would that spring work and what an sku

If the gun is an AK then the gearbox is a V3 you need. as for springs, a promethius MS90 will sit you nicely on about 310-315fps.
