2. Draw spring pin (A) shown in

Fig.16-1 out of the shaft (B)
and gear (C).

3. Loosen setscrews (D) shown in

Fig.16-2, and detach the wire
(H) from wire pulley (E).
Remove setscrew(G) from
pulley (F), and then , remove
wire holder (I). Remove wire (H)
from pulley (F).

4. Remove the opposite wire in the

same way as in step 3.

5. Loosen setscrews (J) shown in
