Loose Bearing on a Sho-Bud Knee Lever

Colin Swinney · From: Wisconsin, USA

I have an issue with a loose axle bearing on one of my knee levers. In the attached pictures, you can see that where the lever attaches, the bearing that allows it to travel is loose enough to just pull out at will. You can see in one photo, its flush, and in another, I have moved it out enough so you can see without removing entirely.

It doesn't seem to effect the playability or tuning when its in, its just when I put in its case or travel with it, it sometimes comes loose. What can I do to fix this? Thank you.

Put some spacers (washers) between the knee lever and the bracket.

Yes there should be a "Allen head Set Screw" in the bracket to hold the axle.

Thank you both very much! I see exactly what you mean Ricky, I think that's the ticket!
