Removing the shuttle race assembly


Removing the shuttle race assembly is a pretty simple process:

  1. Remove the needle, or put it in it’s highest position
  2. Remove the bobbin case
  3. Remove the shuttle race back spring thumb screw
  4. Remove the shuttle race back spring
  5. Remove the shuttle race back
  6. Remove the shuttle body
  7. Remove the shuttle race body screws
  8. Remove the shuttle race body

You can also remove the whole assembly at once by just removing the shuttle race body screws and then remove the shuttle race body as a unit.

After disassembly, clean the parts and reassemble in reverse order.
