How to fix my Maggiolina?

[Septimusus]

Hello Folks,

I recently found a Maggiolina Brevetto Internazionale and I am right now in the process of fixing it.

One issue this tent has is that all four corkscrew nuts are broken. I ordered new corkscrew nuts from Autohome and they fit - in theory.

The issue I have is that I don't know how to remove the gear from the one end so that I would be able to screw on the second corkscrew nut.

Maybe someone has experience with this and can give an enlightening thought

@XC70_OVERLANDER Thore, as an RTT expert, can you help here?

Sure. There are different parts that can be replaced. The easiest option is to replace the whole mechanism. If you could send me the parts you ordered and explain again what the issue is I am more than happy to help.
