I want to overhaul an old SME 3009 S2 improved.
Substance of the tone arm is OK - instructions and parts lists are available - and all sorts of items.
So far no problem.
Only in one point I'm not sure: it is about the "wayrod assembly /spider "(of counterweight on the tonearm rear).
Is ist possible to disassemble to replace the rubber parts (grommetes) such as ist is possible on "normal" S2 or R?
The grommets (damping rubber parts ) are the same as those for mounting on the tonearm board, I obtained to get new for a few euros.
The only question is how can disassemble the Spider - the three
damping rubbers / grommets do not sit on screws the are on pins and i can not detect whether they are a pressed in or glued or something else.
A pictue of the "wayrod assembly" or "spider" ca be seen here:

(the same part but not my picture)
Who has experience, I am grateful for any advice.

I recommend you not use the bedplate grommets when installing the arm. Find a set of suitable screws (cheese head or similar) that fight nicely in the mounting slots. This on a number of tables with the 3009 Series II resulted in a remarkable improvement in the bass.
