13.6. Slide the hex shaft to the left while carefully un-
meshing the lower gears on the hex shaft from
the upper gears on the wheel axle. See Figure
22.
13.7. Set the hex shaft's gears aside.
13.8. Carefully remove the inner E-ring from the hex
shaft and slide the friction wheel assembly off
the hex shaft. See Figure 23.
NOTE:
Maintain the correct order of parts during
disassembly.
13.9. Inspect the friction wheel and all components of
the hex shaft for any wear or damage. See Fig-
ure 24.
NOTE:
The friction wheel can be replaced as an
assembly or repaired.
If you're replacing the friction wheel assembly as a
whole, discard the worn assembly and slide the new
assembly onto the hex shaft. Follow the steps above in
reverse order to reassemble components.
If you're disassembling the friction wheel and replacing
only the rubber ring, proceed as follows:
13.10.Remove the four screws that secure the friction
wheel's side plates together. See Figure 25.
13.11. Remove the rubber ring from between the
plates.
