  Bruce.. someone on this List... and I apologize to them humbly
for my aging faulty-refresh memory... offered to copy for me a specimen
of the Kennedy 9300 docs... I imagine that the hub mechaicals
might be the same.



  HOWEVR: I just went over and dissasembled mine... it wasn't
obvious ay first...


Remove the O-ring.

Pry up the brushed aluminum plate covering the top of the hub.. the
one with the cutout for the lever to drop into. It has some adhesive
which yielded to my screwdriver... don't bend it!

Remove the slotted capscrew thus revealed.. it is milled on it's
lower half to engage index holes in the bottom hub part.

The pin to which the relaease lever attaches is actually *threaded*
into the center of the motor shaft.... hold the bottom part of the
hub steady and rotate to top part CCW until it falls off into your
hand.

  Then you can replace the roll pin... which looks (on mine) to be
a standard part.

  Perhaps this will help.


Now I gotta re-assemble this thing.... ;}


  Cheers

John


BIG PS: I desperately want another 9300 parts machine... I NEED
the vacuum column door... mine's broke and it just flaps and makes
really rude noises.. will buy/ship/trade... anyone??
