How to Use

Tools needed
Screwdrivers, tweezers, light synthetic grease, phone camera for reference photos
Common mistakes to avoid
- Ignoring timing marks — many mode/cam gears must be installed in one exact position. Photograph the old gear's alignment before removal.
- Over-greasing — a thin film of plastic-safe grease on the teeth is enough; excess migrates onto belts and rollers.
- Forcing the mechanism by hand against the gear train — rotate only in the intended direction, gently.
If the mechanism was jammed when the gear cracked, cycle it slowly by turning the motor pulley by hand after installation, before applying power. You'll feel any misalignment before it breaks something.
