REMOVE THE FRONT MAIDEN

 

Remove the flyer, bobbin and

Unscrew the T-knob and remove it 

and the two washers.

 

Using a hammer and a block of 

scrap wood, gently tap out the bolt.

 

Pull on the bolt until the front 

maiden is released. Do not remove

sections: one for wheels built 
before 1/19/12, one for wheels 
built after 1/19/12, and one 
that contains information per-

wheel’s serial number (stamped 
into the wood on the rear of 
the mother-of-all) to determine 
when your wheel was built.
