I'm having trouble getting this guy installed. It goes in fine, then when I tighten it up the shaft tightens up and won't turn (I'm turning the small gear inside the end of the tail cone) I did some careful measuring and I think the end of the slotted member in the angle drive is pressing against the shoulder of the paddle inside the tail cone piece. When testing the rotation of the angle drive itself I press down lightly on the arrowed surface and the drive won't turn, so I know it doesn't take much pressure here to prevent (what I assume are) the miter gears from turning.
The Haynes manual shows a whole grouping of parts as one number (frustrating!) Anybody know what A and B are? I'm thinking B is the seal, but what is A? I think a washer in here somewhere would provide a bit of clearance so things can move properly. Any ideas?   |

Actually, they do seal the internal, but most of the leaks come from the outside diameter of the large bushing, hence the reason I sell them with the double seal like McMark designed the fix.
The new internal seal is a no brainer, but no need to replace the aluminum washer, just reuse. |

Mark thanks for that,noticed the angle drive is quite loose in the gearbox housing,even after fitting new "o"ring? |
