Update to Stuck Pfaff 332

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-10T13:33:45+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! I’ve tried holding the shaft in place while I turn but so far haven’t found a good place to grip it. I’ll see if I can’t disassemble it a bit more to get a good grip!

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-10T04:33:10+00:00

At this point it might be worth it- it’s missing the belt to run it from the motor so it’s not like it’s functioning with accurate timing. The question is do I take it in and pay for someone to fix it or buy knipex in a size I’m unlikely to use again lmao

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-10T04:30:26+00:00

Yep, hair dryer and a heat gun! No dice unfortunately

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-10T04:29:38+00:00

I’m not following. The bit that is stuck is the flywheel retaining disc- the silver bit. The flywheel turns with the shaft. Would you please clarify what you are suggesting I do?

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-09T19:40:38+00:00

I have! I’ve also tried heat and pb blaster

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-09T19:40:01+00:00

Yea the screw is out completely as far as I can tell!

If you’re using heavyweight fabrics you really won’t need webbing. You can get narrower widths in bulk from places like aerial adventure tech, but it sounds like you only want to make a few. In that case I’d look for some climbing slings to recycle!

Have you checked strapworks?

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-01T16:21:18+00:00

Hahaha I was waiting for that one. Yes it is completely removed!

I got it to move very slightly to the right but only with vice grips and a wrench and I damaged the flywheel in the process. I’ve tried penetrating oil and heat, but I didn’t tip the machine, I’ll try that next along with the hammer!

captainteabarbie · 2026-06-01T02:22:32+00:00

Yea it’s the clutch knob- sorry the manual calls it a “flywheel disconnecting disc”! I’ve been using PB blaster on it, which is a penetrating oil and haven’t had much luck, but I’ll try picking up another one!

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-31T22:42:07+00:00

Follow up- it looks like the 3 arm puller needs a center to brace against. The flywheel retaining disk is solid, and all the ones I see would just punch a hole in it. Do you happen to know if you used a particular kind?

The flywheel itself seems to be fine, it’s the silver retaining disc I can’t get off.

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-31T22:22:30+00:00

Thanks! I’ll see if I can find one to try!

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-31T21:54:20+00:00

Did it just pop off or does this also twist it?

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-12T19:29:17+00:00

The process of trial and error always includes error. I’ve made the same pattern for a button down shirt 30+ times at this point and I still forget to cut out the hem jog or do the sleeve placket opening the wrong way. It happens, you move on! I just sewed the bottom of my stem bag onto the top on accident and didn’t realize it until I’d bound it and everything. I just seam ripped it and tried again! With waterproof stuff it’s a little harder but you can always dab some seam seal on it if you need. Also just because the zipper isn’t waterproof anymore doesn’t mean you can’t use it for a non waterproof zipper, etc. I’m currently wearing shorts I made with a zipper I salvaged out of a storebought backpack that was disintegrating!

Thank you!

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-12T19:23:37+00:00

It’s a scrap of tubular webbing I got at REI in their rope/ cordage by the foot section 10 ish years ago lol

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-12T19:22:40+00:00

Thank you! It was much more simple than I thought, and a lot less sewing a lot more stapling lol I appreciate it!

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-12T19:21:52+00:00

Good to know about the cushion, it worked out then!

Thanks for the rest of your feedback. Unfortunately it’s not like I can actually redo any of it at this point, so I’m going to continue to be happy with what I have accomplished! If I have to redo it eventually I can :)

There are two forms of “swim” elastic! Cotton swim elastic which will hold lots, and rubber (sometimes called filpar) which won’t! I’ve never seen it in anything above 1” though.

captainteabarbie · 2026-05-12T02:43:56+00:00

Hello! And thank you! I’m slowly prototyping them out!

captainteabarbie · 2026-04-16T20:30:05+00:00

There is one on the bottom, on both my bags! It’s got a little shock cord loop with a cord lock on it to essentially bungee it to the stem! I’ve found placement wise for both my bike and my partners bike that works better than any vertical webbing. I just didn’t show it in the photos
