I need to disassemble a Sachs kick starter for rechroming. Is the ring on top attached with a pressed-in pin? I don't want to screw it up trying to take it apart.
Thanks,
Randy

You are correct, use a pin punch and drive it out. It could be tapered so you will have to check both sides. I replace all of mine with spring pins! There is a spring and pin on the inside you will want to remove before plating.

Thanks Kip,
I just bought this one on ebay and it needs replating. The other one I have does not have a ring on it. Were there two different types or has my other one been modified. All others that I see have the ring on top.

Randy It's hard to tell, I would have to see it. I have seen several different types of "kickers" for the Sachs. Probably around 4/5 different styles!

Kip...do you have a source for the small springs and pins that fit inside the kickers and the spring pins that holds the two sections together?

Thanks
Steve

Steve, I get all of my springs from the local hardware. I have salvaged the pins from old "junk" kickers. The spring pins also come from the local hardware.
