How do I put the hand back on a dial indicator?

Jul 03, 2009 1 Replies

If I just push it on do I risk damaging the bearing? If so, any tips on how to hold the shaft while pushing? (My miniature bent nose pliers are way too big.)



Thanks, Bob


I found Ted Edwards DropBox post about cleaning DI's:

He says "I lock the hands in place on their tapers with a tap from my little instrument maker's hammer." Jeez, I don't know if I want to tap them on. Doesn't sound good for the bearing.
