Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
I rather feel that I am making a mountain out of a molehill! All going well until I nipped up the bearings and spacer on the input shaft as tight as I could with the castellated nut. The internal spacer washer is now catching on the layshaft gear. I am pretty sure this was assembled with the cup facing inwards, away from the roller bearing. Am I right?
I presume that I couldn't over tighten the castellated nut thus not leaving the washer loose? I am asking the questions before I consider turning the washer round (would prefer not to dismantle again unnecessarily), or "dress" the washer edge away from the gear. Thanks to all for your help and comments.
