[R-390] More - MHZ gear clamp busted - removing gears

[Mark Richards]

Walter, and others.

As many of you are very experienced with the R-390, I hope you will not
mind my asking stupid questions.  However I really want to avoid making
mistakes, particularly with the complex mechanics of this receiver.

I am in the midst of a breakdown (not nervous, although this is also
approaching) of the geartrain.  I began this because the MHZ gear clamp
is snapped.  In order to get to it, I've first removed the front panel
(taking all the steps outlined by others on this great e-mail list).
Next, I removed the veeder root counter.  Now I have two large gears
staring at me, begging for removal.  A photo of them is here:

The gear in question is the one pointed out.  I can determine how to
remove the other one (there's a clamp).  How in the world is the other
gear removed?  I am very concerned that I will break something in the
process of trying to get it off.  Also, it seems impossible to remove
either of these without winding the KHZ settings slightly.

Thanks for your help!
