Morning folks,
two quick questions (which may not have quick answers)....
First, how important is it that I remove the Cam gear for a rebuild? My reading on the topic seems to indicate that it is pressed on, though some say it comes off with little to no effort. I don't have a 1-7/16" socket to get the nut off, so when I take the motor to a machine shop for cleaning and new cam bearings, they can just take care of it (for a fee of course), right?
Second, on the idler gear, the shaft has a single pin (with a hole for another). Does it matter that there is only one? If I remember right, there is no timing or anything to the idler, so its position when re-installed doesn't matter that much. Just want to confirm.
thanks!
