My experience: The shims on the bottom of the drive slid out of place. You'll need to pull the drive all the way out, get a magnet and suck the shims out of the hole. Turn the crank back to TDC, stick the shims onto the drive with some heavy grease and put it back in the correct position. Jim

Maybe I didn't wiggle it enough? Or maybe there's a reason it wouldn't drop? |
