About Terry
Expertise
I Answer Sewing Machine Repair Guidence & Tip Questions Only.
I DO NOT ANSWER "Value", or "How To Alter", or "Sewing" Related Questions...period.
I can help on Singer`s 700, 600 series Touch & Sew`s, 400 & 500 Slant-O-Matic`s, and most older model Singers. Feather Weight`s (221 series), 15-91, 201 etc. I worked for Singer for 10 years, had my own repair business for another 10 years. Other makes entertained, but would rather stick to Singers of the older vintage. If you machine is newer than 1992, please do not ask me, as I am not up to speed on machines after that era. You might try the web site I have, to see if I do offer any advice there, but the focus in on those listed above. Feel free to visit my site: http://www.tandtrepair.com

Subject: Removing broken hook drive gear from singer 513
Question
Terry,
We have a Singer Stylist 513 with a broken Hook Drive Gear (#103361). The plastic bevel gear is what actually broke . I have completely removed the 2 bolts with the hex top from the round coupler at the bottom of the shaft but can not get if off off the shaft, or even budge it. Any pointers on removing the round wheel at the bottom of the shaft?
Answer
Hi Phil,
If the two setscrews are removed, and it doesn't slip right off...sounds like it may be gummed up, and needs a little help removing it. I don't often recommend going after things with pliers, but I'd hold the hook firmly in place by hand, and see if you can wiggle the gear off with a pair of pliers. Don't go after it with brute force, might damage the other gear...just wiggle it back and forth and see if pops loose. Might have a look around my web page for the Sylist, the link is: http://www.tandtrepair.com/StylistLine.html
Hope that helps for now,
Terry
