Good evening,
I have been struggling for some time to install a new k/s return spring on a new shaft. The first new spring I tried to install was sourced from Norvil. It was very stiff and I gave up on it. Then I ordered one from AN which appears to be more compliant.
After struggling for one hour I have succeeded bringing it into position. Now, is the short tang suppposed to fit in the small or large hole at the shaft?
Once the short tang is in place, how to I wind (pretension) the spring and bring the hook onto the small protruding cylinder (the anchor)?
Strangely, there seems to be no thread about the proper procedure on this site. Is it that simple? Or so complicated no one has tried it themselves?
This is my first AMC-2 type gearbox assembled from ground up, which may sound a bit strange.
There isn't much help in the service manual (to me at least). Extract from Section D10:
I am no wiser. Your advice based on own experience is gratefully received.
TIA
