Caution Note
Before proceeding, there are a couple of important things to know. First, under the
square bushings on each end of the axle are tiny springs. They are critical to the
proper operation of your engine and you don't want to drop them. Next, look
closely at the wheel set and bushings and take note of their orientation..
Now, remove the two screws
holding the gearbox cover in
place. Then carefully remove
the gearbox cover and set it
aside.
