Francisco Orozco Jr Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hi, I have a Tiffen G50x arm and want to make a maintenance, does anyone know how to disassemble it step by step and which lubricant to use? At least to clean the main bearings. thanks Typically Tiffen asks you to send it in for maintenance, however I've in the past used contact cleaner (no residue) to clean out the arm while wearing it and then giving it some ACF-50. Once I couldn't get my hands on that so I used "Tri-Flow" in a pinch but I'm not sure about it since most folks here go for ACF-50! Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Marco Dardari Posted June 10, 2017 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Garrett wrote in February 2007: "Jerry Holway has agreed to help document the breakdown/assembly/parts replacement steps for G-50 and G-70 arms. Hope to have photos/text/diagrams as needed up on the web by the end of March, so these simple procedures can be done in the field with just a t-handle allen wrencn and a socket driver (and a cyclotron). best regards and thanks for the good posts on our 'geo' arms.Garrett Brown " But after ten years there is no document that helps disassembly the arm to clean it even because it is very exposed to external agents how it's done. It is very expensive to send it every time in USA or UK to service the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
