I was told I might get a better response in here rather than the modified forum...
I'm building an np231 out of three cases. problem is, when I put the planetaries I need into the front case half I need, the outer planetary ring doesn't seem to quite mesh with the inner planetary gears, and i'm afraid the pitch of the planetaries are just a little off. I pulled the outer planetary ring retaining clip and tried to pull it with pullers (in order to keep the inner planetaries with their factory match outer planetary ring), but it wouldn't budge. And i'm afraid that if I do get it removed i won't be able to get another one seated in as tight as it needs to be, as there are about 30 little punch dimples in the aluminum around it to make sure the gear is in tight. Anybody had to deal with this before?
I searched but I could not find this exact problem covered in the forums. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jessie B
