[R-390] Question - Pic Attachments

[Barry]

I don't think I need this - at least for the moment.

After much cleaning, I was still feeling places in the rotation where something felt like it was "catching" and I could not see anything that was causing that so I decided to remove the first plate (#45 in the exploded diagram) which is relatively easy to do.  I couldn't believe the gunk that was still on the inside and gears where I just couldn't see before.

This morning, I happened to notice an odd washer that I remembered seeing but just wasn't sure where it went.  It has a small counterbore in one side and I finally determined it goes behind one of the split gears (#56) and the washer is #57.  It prevents the split gear from separating too far so "mystery" solved.

While things are a bit messier to reassemble, the instructions are complete so it shouldn't be too difficult to get things back together (and hopefully no more "catching" points).

Thanks,
