LTQ 1 Maintenance

From Mswiki

The RCADIA stage is a part eating monster. Therefore be sure to use parts as sparingly as possible. Here is a scenario:

Let's say you are trying to push your column through a sleeve and it does not go through. This does not mean that this particular sleeve is useless. Take another piece of FS (one with no packing material inside) and try to push it in and out of the sleeve. If this does not work then the sleeve has been "pinched" closed due to overtightening. Simply take out the sleeve and cut the damaged area of with the razor blade. Then proceed to re-fit the sleeve into the micro-finger tight peek (also called a ferrule).
