Need help with Singer 211U566A

[Parfektionisto]

Hi BdB, 

thank you so much more the video, and thanks Uwe for making this video. Is this the pin you are talking about? 

[Parfektionisto]

I had removed the eccentric adjusting disc spring collar as seen in the pic below,  and I realise some of the screw on the feed driving flange is not tighten, so I tighten them. After tightening I tried to adjust the stitch length again, and I was able to adjust the stitch length longer, but the hand wheel still doesn’t stop when I turn. Now I’m trying to figure out how to put back the eccentric spring with the collar? I tried to remove the safety clutch belt pulley so that I can remove the hook driving shaft, but I’m stuck and couldn’t figure out how to remove the shaft. Could someone advice me how to remove the shaft or how can I put back the eccentric spring and collar? Thanks

Yes that is the pin.   While you have that assembly apart you might slide the eccentric ring to the right and see if the pin is properly in tact.     The ring  is a tight fit  but hopefully will slide easily enough with a wiggle.      At least that will answer that question.     It should look like this....

Yes the pin is intact, at least I have it removed, check and put it back in place. It seems like the problem could be the screw not tighten on the feed driving flange. Anyway, now I’m having the issue of putting the eccentric spring and collar back in place. It seems like I need to remove the shaft, but I’m unable to it. Could you advice me how to do it?

I was using a hammer trying to push the shaft out, but that’s the furthers it goes as what you see in the pic, I’m afraid if I hit harder I might damage the tip of the shaft.

To inspect the pin as mentioned above,  you shouldn't need to disturb the shaft.     

The ring should slide to the right on the shaft right where it is - though it might be snug.    No need to remove it unless you need to change the part.   

I would not touch the shaft at this point until you are certain it is necessary.

My concern now is to put back the eccentric disk and the spring, but I can’t figure out how to put it back in place, that’s why I’m thinking if I should remove the shaft. Do you know what I mean? Any idea how can I put the eccentric disk and spring bk in place? See what I mean in the pic below.

The spring simply holds the eccentric plate in place.   I have seen or heard someplace that the typical position of the collar is flush with the end of the flange's sleeve.  The collar has 2 set screws that hold it in place as you can see in your picture.   

I would suggest using a pair of sturdy needle nosed pliers with tape on them so as not to mar the shaft.    Compress the spring to the left using the pliers behind the collar.   Hold the collar in place with the pliers on the shaft flush with the end of the flange sleeve -- as you use the pliers to hold it in place,  tighten the set screws.

Were you able to inspect that the pin is in tact?

Yes the pin is intact. The spring is too strong to be compressed by the plier

if you can´t hold down the spring and tighten the set screws at once ask someone for a helping hand or DIY a tool - f.i. a tube with a cutout lengthwise. Length: measure from end of the flange sleeve the to shaft bushing on the right. Just an idea.
