Take bobbin assembly out of 1341 cyclinder arm

[TonyD1948]

Broke my first needle today and the tip is not in the material, therefore I want to dig into the bobbin/hook area.

This is my first cylinder arm and flat bobbin assembly. I'm assuming the bobbin assemble can come out as a unit and before I wade too far in I want to clarify:

• If I remove screws #1 I should be able to lift the entire guts out;
• If I touch #2 I'm messing with tension and since I'm into this 2 weeks I surely don't need additional fun which I'll get to down the road.

And while we're at it, timing needle hook etc. These two pics are both sides of the clearance at the same time, just two angles. Since I've only had (1) looped stitch on the back in 3 bobbins worth of practice on scrap I really an not interested in opening that can'o worms!

Talk to me people

Thanks

Do not touch screw 1 + 2.

Remove the 3 screws from the "bobbin case ring" and the ring (the 1/2 circle thingy) it self, hold the latch in the center and rotate it until it comes out. Underneath it is a screw in the center remove the screw and pull out the hook. When reinstalling it make sure you put it back in the right way - you have a 50% change to reinstall it the wrong way. 😉

Taking a look at the parts list may help you.

Before attempting to removing the bobbin assembly I would remove the bottom cover on the cylinder arm as you have a 50/50 chance that the tip of the needle fell down there.
