Mark, when I did it I had my son help. Just slide the gear slowly and every
thing should just slide together, without pain. In fact we ended up doing
it about 3 times before I was done.
Good Luck,
Ken

Listers,
Ok we're havin fun now. Twang! there goes another steel ball bearing
flying across the room.
Anyone out there have a system to hold the 3 gear ball bearings and
springs in there holes while you pull the first gear down over them into
place. The last time I was able to do this on a TR4 I remember succeeding
only after getting a very nice ripe blood blister from the pinch of the
gears. Man that hurt! Oh yea, one last obstacle, no vise available at this
time. Have I totally lost it to even try it without a vise or a second pair
of hands. Lets see, where did my wife get off too. Better for her to get
pinched than me.
Just-a-kiddn. Any after market ideas out there for this problem.
Thanks, Mark
