The washers you mentioned should have tabs on them, two bent slightly inward and two bent slightly outward. The inward facing tabs are designed to fit into notches cast into the wheel hub. The two outward tabs fit into similar notches in the nylon gear fitting inside the gear housing. Both ride on the axle, so fitting them where they are supposed to go when reassembling everything, and getting them to stay there while to tighten everything down, is a fiddly piece of work. Yours are probably not riding in those notches properly. On Sunday, November 2, 2014 12:17:18 PM UTC-5, Robin Dean wrote:
