Eric R one of the co founders of the site did a repair on his some time ago but that failed very soon afterwards and it is not down as a serviceable item and is NOT recomended. Better to buy a new one or proffesionally reconditioned. IMHO.

Do it if you want to give it a try but as I stated Eric found it failed soon afterwards and if i remember correctly replaced the rack in 2003 see here for experiences etc

Thanks again!
I think i will give it a try, and if that fails i buy a new rack, the price in sweden is aprox 400£ so its quite expensive. if i success i will post the results so it maybe help someother with the same problem
