0550 disassembly and a few pictures.

[Steel130]

I couldnt find anything about take apart my 0550 voiding warranty and it needed a good cleaning. Tonight after doing a short video with the 0550 I noticed I had it too oiled in the pivot area and was causing an audible squishy sound with some wiggle of the blade. So it being rather dirty anyway, I decided to take it apart and clean it up. Everything went well until I ran into the middle standoff. That bugger had loctite all over. So it took awhile to break ( figurative ) Anyway here are some pics. Cleaned her up and the lock up even improved again.

Heres a good shot of the the skeletonized liner.

Back together, looking pretty .
