Yes I saw that post. I cannot get a hold of the knot on the sheet on the bottom of the drum to attach the new sheet on to. That is why I was wondering if I could just “dremmel”/ remove the old knot and possibily push the new sheet up the hole at the bottom of the drum and feed it through like that. Any ideas? I was going to call Hood on Monday.
