the clamp was included to the pasta machine it is bolted on the side with the slot to hold the motor on. Then I added a small peace of cardboard so it don't move side to side when the motor is turned on.

I emailed the company at sales@radcycleproducts.com The clamp that holds the vertical tube broke and they sent me a replacement right away. I just needed to send a picture of the broken part and a copy of my invoice.

We were able to open it up and get the spring working again. It unscrews easily with a screwdriver, however, where it screws in it is plastic so it strips easily. The blade was flying out, so we took some crazy glue and built up the little ledge that stops the blade from flying out.

I had the same problem, the button is actually a pin that goes through the rod that actually spins, I accidentally pulled the whole thing out of the machine, and when i put it back it didn't line up properly to "pin" the rod in place, I had to wiggle it around until it finally got back in place.

It is highly suggested that you weld this in. A clamp will likely leak. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.comThanks.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

if by "stuck" you mean the motor is running but the blad doesn't turn, then your gear has snapped. Looked at many reviews below, this is a frequent problem with these machines. If under warranty you'll get the repair for free but you have to pay for shipping. Good luck

There are 2 rivets that attach the clamp to the ball socket. There also appears to be a very small allen screw (which I couldn't remove) that may hold the ball socket assembly together. Hope this helps.John

Yes, use a small socket wrench on the nut in the clamp. I did the exact same thing and it will tighten up.

I had the same problem with resistance, but different experience. I got great customer support. She told me over the phone that the motor was bad and that one would be shipped from Oregon, to arrive in a week. The repairman contacted me the next day to touch bases, and came out to see me when the motor arrived. It turned out that I needed a new wiring harness, which he fixed. Then he rebuilt the whole machine, and it works quite well now.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

As other replies below state, a thin flat head screwdriver or a small pocket knife, etc will work. I DO NOT recommend using your fingers. I learned this the hard way. I was attempting to pull off a propeller with my fingers and ripped the entire motor out, snapping the wires.

The company web sit may have that info. Meantime, flatten it in vise and maybe use a washer over it. A local machine shop would make a better one for a couple bucks

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!
