hey guys,


so some of the movement dials can be really tight, or you might have squeezed them too hard, making the hard to use.



here is how you fix it.


step one:

safety first, wear protective eye wear and gloves,


step two:

get a sturdy razor blade, either a short scalple blade attached to the scalple handle, or one of the old fashioned straight razor blade (just the blade) will work, if you have a hard time gripping it, try using some layers of duct tape or leather to make a grip.

I use a scalple personally.


take the stuck movement dial, and carfully wedge the razor inbetween the plastic and the cardboard on one of the outside edgese.


work the razor in slowly and with care not to cut yourself or the cardboard until it hits the center part of the plastic pip that holds the carboard together.

then twist the blade slowly to put pressure on the plastic pip to separate it slightly from itself.

repeat this process on the other side of the cardboard/plastic pip until its in the sweet spot where its not too loose and not too tight.



hope that helps some people out!

If your dials wear out also try

This is a universal dial designed for X-wing, it has no reverse sorry federation players. This could still be useful for any ship without a reverse. Let me tell you my Vorcha dials are looking rough after the Dominion War. I hear they are working on an Attack Wing compatible one so keep an eye on the site.
