When it’s time to change your bobbin, simply slip off the tension belt 

and the drive belt, then lift the flyer assembly from its cradles, remove 

the rear bearing and place it in the rear cup so as not to lose it. Adjust 

guides if needed, and remove the existing bobbin. Place a new bobbin 

on the axle and readjust guides. With the new bobbin on the flyer 

shaft, replace the rear bearing and reseat the flyer assembly back onto 

the maiden and rear cups, making sure the small rear bearing goes 

back onto the magnet on the rear cup. Replace the tension belt and 

drive band, and you are ready to spin again!
