Gear damage
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 11:13 pm
So over the past two weeks I've set out to replace the bearings/reco my gearbox.
Cracked it open and started on one of the gear shafts. Following the video I have successfully replaced the bearings on the input shaft (these were the bearings making noise).
When it's come time to do the output shaft, following the video I tried to space the bearing out (closest to 1st gear I think) with a chisel as was done in the Mini Gearbox DIY day video and In doing so have taken some material off the gear it is adjacent to.
So my question is: "Have I F#$!$d it?".
Not terribly good at inserting images but here they are.
