Hi; Has anyone replaced the tensioning spring on one of these older Hitachi bandsaws? It appears to me that I need to remove the wheel in order to get the entire unit off the machine, then remove the shaft and access the inner working parts of the tensioner. Am I on the right track?
And if I need parts does anyone have a source for them? I suspect it will be a trip to my machinist friend if more is needed than just a spring. Thanks, DF
