how do you replace cam buttons in comet 30 series driven

[yerf_dogger]

I am refurbishing my comet 30 series and in the kit it has the black buttons.

Mine are worn down causing the clutch to lose tension and jump past them

Problem is I cant figure out how to remove the old ones.

ANy suggestions

pry them off with a flathead screwdriver.
Oh, you have to disassemble the driven first, otherwise the head of the driven unit will hold three buttons in with the help of the spring

ive tried that method for the past few hours with no luck

that's odd.. it's just a rubber pin in there *shrugs*

Uhm, okay, use a heat gun to carefully heat the buttons to soften them a little, maybe they come off easier when warm;
or cut them off with a knife and punch the pin through??

Sorry.

got em

used some vice grips and twisted them right out.

they had some loctite or some sort of cement or glue holding them in
