Mark VII Cam follower sheave
Do these ever pop up on eBay? I'm looking for one as the one I have is starting to get a bit long in the tooth

Re: Mark VII Cam follower sheave
To be more clear, the two pins that ride the cam are bent. Can I replace those by pushing them out and getting new ones?

Re: Mark VII Cam follower sheave
YEP! Note amount of projection before replacing. If bent that may be impossible and those herein must help thee.

Re: Mark VII Cam follower sheave
I measured 1/2" long and 0.11" diameter so probably around 7/64" ?

Re: Mark VII Cam follower sheave
I know I'm supposed to mount the follower on the cam with the "thick" part up but for the life of me, it doesn't like to move. The only way it'll work is with the thin part up.
What am I missing?
