Adding Bushings To A Worn Main Spring Shaft and Gear

Post by JeffR1 »

The motor was useable, but now it's better then spec.
It was from a Victor VI/early L-Door
Victor never put a bushing on the drive worm gear, but I added one to increase the surface area in that place.
I had to add a spacer to prevent the gear and spring barrel from being distorted when the bushing was pressed in.
I also used permanent Loctite on all of the press fits.
