Dennis,
The bandwidth lever just pulls off. Sometimes its tough to get off. Hold
on to the coupling in front of the bandwidth wafer to keep the stress on it
to a minimum.
The vernier drive is worn. The balls will wear a groove in the shaft. I
have had success in repairing one buy disassembling it and repositioning the
balls into an unworn area of the shaft. I made up a drawing of this I will
see if I can locate it.
73, Gary
