    Hi Guys, im stuck on this step.

    Following the manual, it says to install the clutch first --- Done

    Next I have to install the primary drive gear on the crank shaft end, however I cant get the drive gear past the first set of teeth on the clutch sub gear. there are 2 gears on the back of the clutch, and they are ever so slightly off set or scissored. thus stopping the primary gear from going on to the second set.

    Manual says to use a screwdriver to move the second set of sub gears and allow the drive gamer to go on, however 1) im not sure the bet way to do that without damaging something, those sub gears are obviously spring loaded and seem to take alot of force to move. I have not been able to lever them in any way to get them to un-scissor.

    anyone done this that can offer me a tip here ?

    thanks

    Resolved.

    I put a large flat blade screw driver between the 2 sets of sub gear theeth and twisted while my helper pushed the primary drive gear on.

    when you have hands like a racoon (like me), it takes 2 people to do this apparently
