[TenTec] Omni-D PTO

[Gary J FollettDukes HiFi]

You have the very common frozen PTI problem.

No way to correct other than to remove the pTO, carefully disassemble, thoroughly clean moving parts and relate with nice high temperature grease.

PS: Take care to not overly stress the brass center shaft. It is quite thin where the ball bearings ride. Generally the springs will take up the slack but excess bending action will break it.

I can make new ones but pretty costly.
