hopping foot swap help

Help, I'm trying to take off my old hopping foot on my 2001 Ult 1 and put in the one piece 1/4 inch hopping foot.

I've got the bobbin assembly stuff off.

But I can't pull the old hopping out because there is a shaft in the way, in the bobbin area.

I don't have any directions and am scared to unscrew and take apart to many things so am asking if I missed something. I have to move the shaft but am not sure how.

Thanks for any help.

Michelle, the next step is kinda scary - you have to recess that shaft back into the gear box. But you can't rotate it once you start recessing it - that will keep it from meshing with the gears when you pull it back forward. To be able to move that shaft, you need to loosen the the set screw in the lock collar that is around the shaft. I have information on "Hook Collar Adjustment" that might help you. Email me or call me at (509) 447-3803, and I'll send you the info and walk you through the process.

Good luck, Michelle - you can do this!
