rebuilding my gearbox. the above image is from before i removed the 2nd gear.
ive fitted a new neddle roller, cleaned everything up and am trying to put the washer back in. im using 2 tiny flathead screwdrivers to push the pins in from both ends, but no matter how hard i press the washer just refuses to go down. whats the trick to getting it back in?
ive even tried pushing one pin all the way in so it sticks out the other end,and pressing the washer down to try and get it to slip in a bit before pressing the other end in the hopes of wiggling one end in before the other, but this wont work either.
doesnt help that the gear keeps rotating about.
i genuinely believe british leyland purposely designed everything to be as difficult as possible...
