HP spindle gear

[Dizzy385]

Hi,
The gear has fallen off my spindle, the screws are inside the pole. Someone told me to take the silver "pin" out to take it apart but the "pin" is threaded like a screw and has no screw head it's just hallow. Any ideas on how to fix it?

You just got to pull that pin out.

Yeah, that's not a screw, it's a spring pin. Look up a youtube video for 'how to remove a spring pin'. They can be a pain, especially since this one is embedded in plastic.
