View attachment 756869 View attachment 756869 IMG_20160704_202733.jpg Have removed TP 11 tonearm from Thorens TD 165 turntable. l have a replacement gimbal/antiskate hanger to install. Need to disassemble tonearm to install. Problem is the aluminum sleeve, will not unthread from its mateing black plastic tonearm frame with moderate pressure. Another AK member has assured me, it is a RH thread. A little heat was applied to aluminum sleeve in attempt to expand it and loose grip. Any experience withView attachment 756869 this ? Afraid to apply more pressure, for chance of breakage.

Hi,

I found as a kid nearly all things come apart. Putting them back together was the problem.

Here are you sure your using the right procedure to disassemble the arm ?
From the picture I can see I can see no reason why it should simply unscrew.

rgds, sreten.

Unless some one had applied glue to it previously. :idea:

I suspect that either the factory glued it or sincehas been done. Two other tp11's that I have feedback on this, one comes apart. The other one in like this one. That is why I'm pretty confident of disassembly method. The one that came apart showed no threadlocker on it.
The service manual shows the parts separated with part numbers on each piece, assuming they can be disassembled.

Balify, thanks for checking yours. l likely knew my solution before I posted this thread. Went through part of alternatives before. I'm not going to chance breaking it, to fit new antiskate hanger. I will use extra hanger rod. Glue it on. Not the perfect solution but will work.
thanks for responses.
