Blue Lily Quilting Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I am in the process of installing these wheels, and I'm having trouble getting the bolt out from the channel lock wheel:o. Is there an easy way to replace the bolt I have looked on the instruction leaflet enclosed and on the website and it dosn't mention how to replace the bolt. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Rowena Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi Lesley, I recently put Edgriders on my Millie. The short answer is no. It is not hard just fiddly as there is that tiny nut. Obviously keep everything in order as you take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lily Quilting Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks Rowena, just to know that little bit comes apart is good , I don't think I have enough strength I will have to wait for Andrew to come home. I have been trying to get that little screw out and the bugger won't budge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowena Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The way I did it was to undo the tiny nut so it is not attached at that point. Then I undid the large hexigon type nut and the silver barrel at the left slips out of the "frame". If you are trying to undo the "screws" that hold the short aluminium bar to the top bar, I couldn't and it looks like it is wedged tightly into the slot. Hope this helps. Sorry the picture is a little blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorris Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi Lesley Not sure if you've thought of this, when you replace the usual wheels with Edgeriders, you are raising the height of the carriage above the table This means that the bolt that goes into the horizontal block for your CQ will not be long enough. You can order a replacement from Butch at SD Stitches or you can get a longer bolt (without the wingnut handle) from an autoparts shop and add spacers - this will do as a short term replacement.

Blue Lily Quilting Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thank you Rowena for the pic it helped when the Muscles from Brusells came home and he did it quite easily. Thank you Sue for the heads up on the bolt for the CQ your were right I didn't give it a thought I'lll send Butch an email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinneaMarie Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi Girls, My Millie will be here Friday, and I ordered the edgerider wheels from Kingsmen; but they are out of stock. Bummer. They don't even know when they WILL have them. At Kingsmen, for those of us in the USA, they were $160. Looking forward to playing with my new m-m-m-m-millie! ooohh, I forgot, I have to get hubby to help me set it up FIRST!!:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 LinneaMarie You could also call Ray at www.quilttech.com 608-289-3836. I also tried Kingsmen last week and got the same story. I called Ray last Monday and the wheels arrived here in Canada today. Same price also $160.

Sheri Butler Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 ** Just a quick note** When you purchase the edgerider wheels...they give you 2 longer bolts!! Remember, those 2 go to replace the bolts for the stitch regulator AND the channel lock wheel. I'd double check that you didn't use those 2 on some other wheels on your machine! How do I know this? Because I am ANAL! When I open a package, I sort EVERYTHING OUT!!! I know...I know....I get crap from my family ALL the time for doing that!!
