Hi... ive been having issues with the Hornby S2290 brass gear, i have a small g-clamp but the issue is that it has a swivel head, and i have never used these clamps before, im a complete newbie when it comes to using these things, should i use a clamp or just resort to using a small vice? if so, how do i properly use one of these with a swivel head or a vice to fit the brass gear?

Thanks for all the advice, I think I’m ready to tackle the issue now.

Thanks for the Information... can you provide a link to a small vice that would be perfect for this type of project to buy, or is that against the rules of the forum? If so, just give me the name of it and I’ll look it up.

I have a brass gear that is slipping and stopping my old Hornby class 5 locomotive from running, on the motor shaft of one of my older 3 pole motors, I don’t have any other brass gears to use... any advice on how to make the gear clamp on the motor shaft again without useing loctite or superglue? Also if I replace it, how do I push it down the shaft because I read these can be a real pain to replace!
