Step 8 – Remove the Spacers and Idle Gear from the Chassis.

Refitting / Replacement

Step 9 – Refitting is a reversal of the removal process noting the following point:

1. While reinserting the Traverse Shaft, you must one by one, align the spacers and Idle Gear to allow the Traverse Shaft to pass through

2. The LONGER Spacer (37.1mm – use Vernier calliper to measure) + (Number 3 in the image above) will be aligned first as shown.

3. Then the Idle Gear must be fitted to the Traverse Shaft as shown

4. Align the SHORTER Spacer (34.3mm), then slide the Traverse Shaft all the way through the Chassis and into the Bush in the opposite Chassis Wall

5. Use long noise pliers to reattach the 8mm E-Clip onto the Traverse Shaft
