I have had my gyre 130 for almost a year and a half. When they released the rugged propellers for the 130 I purchased them and have been very happy. I usually clean the gyre once a month (remove the cages and propellers soak in vinegar and water solution, brush everything and reassemble. I have never had any issues.
As it was time to clean the gyre I decided to order the new rugged bushing for the propellers (which were not released or sold at the same time as the rugged propellers) and new cage and motor block/shaft bushings.
I was not able to change the motor block/shaft bushings because I cannot remove the motor block door. I am trying to remove it from the correct side, the side with the M for the maxspect logo. All of my needle nose pliers are too big to get a hold, and my fly fishing forceps keep slipping. It will not budge.
I reassembled without changing the motor block/shaft bushings. After reassembly I have the red blinking light. I removed the rugged propeller bushings and swapped with originals and still get the red light. I swapped back original cage bushings and still get the red light. Everything is installed correctly, A prop with A cage, B with B. All in the correct side. I run my gyre very low at a pulse very 10 seconds roughly.
I created a ticket last night, but do not have my receipt/proof of purchase. I am the original owner.
I can get the gyre to work and the motor to run without the cages on but then it reverts to the red blinking light after a few seconds.
Help?!? How do I remove the motor block door on the xf130? The manual instructions say to the pull the block door with pliers on the side of the M with the maxspect logo. It wont budge and I am kind of destroying the motor block door "star arms" if that makes sense. I feel like this is my issue because its the only thing I have not been able to trouble shoot.
