The problem is the single spring barrel, it is very loose. The problem is the inner shaft is worn and the hole in the brass gear that the inner shaft goes in is also worn. I really appreciate both replies so I know I am not missing a spacer.

Yes brass bushing is pressed into cover, not suppose to be removable, but could be worn.

Could that bearing have slipped out unnoticed (don't ask me how I know this can happen). And/or do the covers have different size holes such that swapping them creates difficulties?

Is there a spacer that goes there? Thanks, Steve
