I have my new Tashjian W-51 tower installed and working but have found that I can only install my Ham-IV rotor by disassembling the rotor and reassembling it inside the tower section.  I want to install the rotor about 7 feet from the top of the top section. The rotor will fit but I've not been successful getting it back together without losing some of the bearings.

Also the rotor plate is just a press fit inside the tower section.  No bolts or clamps.  Is it supposed to be permanently welded in?

Any advice or experience would be appreciated.   Bob NZ6G
