This is an authentic replacement part manufactured for use with Ryobi table saws. The shaft connects to the handwheel and is used to raise and lower the height of the blade. This elevating shaft is sold as an individual replacement part, please see model diagram for associative parts.
There are two jam nuts on the screw shaft that were seriously jammed! Tried all my wrenches, lock pliers, and wishful thinking to get them loose. Finally I got my oscillating saw with metal blade and cut the shaft in two places to remove the segment with the two jam nuts. Then put one nut in my metal vise and used an adjustable wrench on

There\'s a teeny c-ring on the end of the shaft and I used a cold chisel to break it off since I didn\'t have the c-ring pliers yet. All of this was the 1.5 hours of the work. Once I got the parts from eReplacementParts and the c-ring pliers took 30 minutes to fix everything. To be on the safe side I ordered a second set of screw shaft and block nut in case I need another fix.
The parts from eReplacementParts got here quickly (I used USPS), they were reasonably priced. And they worked. Thanks to them I didn\'t have to buy a new table saw.
The blade depth adjustment pulley had seized - the elevation shaft and the block had totally fused together. Ordered a new one of each.
The Repair: First, I took note of the stacking order of the nuts and washers on the shaft. I drew a diagram.

Removing the old washers and nuts from the old shaft is easy once itGÇÖs cut.
Starting with the pulley handle, thread that on and insert the shaft into the case. Then add back the nuts, washers and new block as they were before.
One important detail on this repair - the small retaining ring at the end of the shaft that holds it in place. This was a bit of a pain to remove and replace because I didnGÇÖt have the proper tool. Used needle-nose pliers.

The blade height could not be adjusted. It was frozen.
I removed the adjustment wheel (crank) and loosened the lock nuts on the old elevating shaft. Then I removed the lock rings at the end of the shaft and unscrewed it out of the stripped block. Once it was out, the new block and shaft went on in minutes. I put new lock rings on the shaft end just to be sure nothing came loose and reinst
