Installing a NEW Gear Replacement for Sentro 22 Knitting Machine

[@maryh6696]

I couldn't even get the handle off😢. Anxiety watching you take it apart. You are brave❤

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you for watching! Anything is possible when you take your time and work methodically.

[@junewardle3457]

Can you tell us about how you have the counter set up on this Sentro. Really appreciated this change of gear video

[@StephanieBCreativity]

The counter was really easy- check the description for a link to the counter. I used the Clear Nanotape to such the magnet and the sensor.

[@3258pamela]

There is a shaft, I just took mine apart, and the end of the shaft is square and was not placed in the gear at all, nice a tight now........and I'm thankful for this video so I can put mine back together LOL...........dam needles LOL thank you

[@StephanieBCreativity]

So happy this video was helpful!

[@monalcreates]

Way to go Stephanie!! Glad that you got it to work!!

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Thank you my friend for being such a great cheerleader! I appreciate you so much!

[@malloryzalud1771]

I just installed this on my son's 22 pin and I'll let you know the grumpy head updated the tightening collar again. It's still really easy to install and it's already cranking beautifully!😊

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Wonderful! I appreciate the updates that Grumpy keeps doing.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

[@StephanieBCreativity]

You’re welcome!

[@patshipp9195]

Hope he comes out with a kit for the 48 Sentro cause mine sucks. Thanks for this.💖💖🙏🙏💖💖

[@StephanieBCreativity]

He does have a some for the 48 needle Sentro! www.etsy.com/listing/1413348924/ I haven’t got one yet as my big Sentro is still working great for me.

[@patshipp9195]

@@StephanieBCreativity Thank you I will check it out.

[@debs0630]

FYI, I used a flat head screw driver to remove the screw in the handle. It is made where you can use the Philips head or flat head. The philips head seems like it was already worn so not sure if that happened in the factory or what but use the flat head, jjust got to wiggle it a little to find the grooves.. And you do not have to turn it a lot because all it is attached to is the small little nut

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Yes! Thank you for sharing your experience

[@uniquelynekk750]

How long did it take grumpy head to send it and or respond?

[@scrapinmaniac]

I think I just get a new machine LOL. I would be so frustrated .

[@StephanieBCreativity]

That works too!

[@JoanneWillock]

can you let me know where I can get a gasket ring for the sentro 22

[@JoanneWillock]

can you tell me where I can get a gasket ring for the sentro 22

[@tersakorff2181]

Tell me where can I buy a knitting masjine like this???

[@StephanieBCreativity]

There’s links in the video description! Thank for watching

[@ssoozee]

Hi there, I just went to the grumpy head web site and couldn’t find replacement parts for my Sentro machine - 22 and 48. Can you help? My machines are already broken and I’ve only had them for a few weeks. I even have a broken needle on my 48.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

I looks like he is moving to a new website to sell the parts when his Etsy store inventory is cleared. Here’s the new website address: www.grumpyheaddesigns.com I’m not affiliated with this company- I just bought and fixed my machine- 😀 His Etsy shop is www.etsy.com/shop/GrumpyHeadDesigns

[@jeanniel.holder3310]

What is their phone number or ordering address ? Plus,what is the part number ?

[@kellypepin8029]

My replacement gear only lasted a little while and now it's back to the same issues again. :(

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Oh no! Mine is still going strong- was it from the same Etsy seller that I used? If so message him and find out what he thinks is the issue.

[@kaybryant7987]

I looked at site but didn't your packaging. Is there a number

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Hi it is the gear replacement kit for the Sentro Rabbit knitting machine.

[@glenwardgross366]

What is the black ring for?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

The black ring is a shim that helps keep proper pressure on the top ri g that holds the needle guides

[@glenwardgross366]

So yea that is what I was thinking. I just watched a video and they did not install it. I am thinking ppl are spending money on parts when they just need to move the tapper gear forward with a shim to contact the gears on the rings. JAT@@StephanieBCreativity

[@glenwardgross366]

I do not have one of those machines to take apart but I have understanding of how it is supposed to work. Since this is a toy they are not going to remold it it with tolerance @@StephanieBCreativity

[@maryh6696]

Couldn't even get the handle off. 😢

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Oh no! I hope you get it figured out- thanks for watching

[@thetermite72]

You should have lubed the needles/pins while you had it apart.

[@StephanieBCreativity]

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I did lube the needles with white lithium grease spray when it was all disassembled. I forgot to record it for the video.

[@fairydustnpeppersacksherzo7793]

Can you tell me how to Grease the pins please? What part I guess?

[@3258pamela]

you can put the gear on while its apart...........jesus...........why didn't you show us how you actually put the hooks in?? O yeah you put 3 in and then suddenly their all in wow..........

[@StephanieBCreativity]

After showing how to slot in 3 of the needles I figured most folks would want to skip ahead to see the rest of the process. Sorry if you could that not as helpful.

[@christinemanuel7477]

After watching this my thoughts are maybe you didn't need the new crank gear but only the extra black ring ?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

That is a possibility- though replacing both parts certainly fixed the skipping and grinding. Thanks for watching!!

[@christinemanuel7477]

I looked up that replacement gear at grumpy head on etsy and never saw the black round thing that comes in two pieces. So what am I missing?

[@StephanieBCreativity]

The ring is part of the package with the gear. I didn’t expect the ring when I received the package. The ring has been upgraded and now is a split piece.
