I've started in on the rehab of my 8S/10T B4, and am trying to figure out how to proceed with spiffing up the mechanism, as well as getting clear access to the wood inside the castle and inside the lam section kickboards.
I removed the screws on the front board of the castle, assuming I could just pull off the board across the front, but discovered that it is glued. I was able to push the rod that the jacks pivot on out through the front hole, partially, and could slip the brass jacks and nuts off through the little space I created that way. Is that really the only way to do that?
And then, I would like to pull the lams out and polish up the metal and clean and polish the joints, but can't figure out how to do that. Anyone?
