blackbard Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Does anyone know how the pushers are attached to the case on the ferrari? I bought one that was "stuck" and the pusher fell out one day. I just found a piece that looks like a spring that I do not know if it belongs. Other than this, Is there a source for replacements? Want to fix the rep as it is beautiful otherwise. If I cant, I'll offload this for parts and pick up another.... Any help is appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikerz Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) That happened to me too. One day the pusher fell out and all I was left with was a spring. The pusher is screwed in so if it gets unscrewed, you're screwed! I had no luck in getting it fixed and ended up selling it for parts. Good luck!

blackbard Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanks. I guess I could glue it in. Were you able to get parts or no? That happened to me too.

hiker01 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hey Guys, which Ferrari are you talking about? There's a few models out there??? Some pictures would help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The end of the pusher inside the case is in fact a screw head, so you can strip the pusher assembly by undoing that from inside. The reason for the "stuck pusher" problem that these have is the pusher shaft is left with burrs on the end during manufacture, this prevents the pusher head from screwing down fully. The extra length then allows the outside part of the pusher to come off the splines it slides on and sit over them. If the whole outside pusher (inner and outer lockring) can continually rotate then you have this problem. If the burrs are removed and sometimes the shaft shortened slightly the outer pusher stays on the splines. You also need to loctite the thread to prevent it coming apart and parts getting lost.

blackbard Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thanx for the excellent explanation. Everything you said makes sense. Unfortunately, the previous owner screwed up the actual pusher part so I need the entire subassembly I believe. I could not get the sliding part to slide any more and snapped the screw off trying to fix... Know where to get replacements?
