Very informative platinum, thanks for sharing.

Hi Platinum,
Thanks for the explanation. Did a complete overhaul of my Big Lama chassis after a blade strike crash.
Question: How the hell do you get the gear "B" on the new outer shaft without hitting (ok, tapping) it with a hammer ?  Is there some sort of a special trick ? To me, using a hammer is not acceptable

Hi St Bosse,

The answer is I used the old outer shaft for my illustration. If the new one rather fit, I think you may try a little bit sand it out. 
Thanks for your notation.
