Hi Stor, I think if i recall correctly you unscrew the foot and take off the stitch length regulator clamp and then take off the tension screw,spring and cup and it should lift up enough to let the disks out.

Thanks Jimi i will try that !

I've never done it they way jimi says.I've always just used a small punch or nail & hammer it out from the bottom of the post(there's a hole in the casting for this) it's a pressed in fit & then you have to tap it back in to re-insatl.

That is the correct way Bob.  easier to.  Just make sure you do not tap to hard and crack the casting.

Sorry guys i still do it the Noob way hehehe. oh forgot to say Stor, if you do it the noob way you will need to take the leaf spring at the back off also.
