Stupid me left a tape on my HP 7970 drive for too long and it has wedded itself to the rubber hub retainer. Brute force isn't gong to work this time.(Imation tape with the plastic hub). Tried getting some silicone lube in to loosen things; no go.
So I need to pull off the reel hub from the motor. I've looked at both the 7970 and 7878 drive service manuals and I'm not sure that I see how it's done. Is it the allen-head setscrew near the center of the hub? Thanks for any advice, Chuck
