• That would make sense. Friction fit means strong tweezers to pull it (the cannon pinion) out?

    Was just trying to put the bridge back over the centre/third/fourth wheels... I just can't align the axles. I'm not done dismantling but wanted to have a go at this... Wow, I hope the book gives tips because I can't see how I could ever put it back...

  • Trust me, the advice in the book is good.

    You need to remove the canon pinion to release the centre wheel. There’s a notch in the middle of the canon pinion; get your tweezers in that notch and lever the canon pinion away from the base plate without flinging it across the room.

    I'm sticking to reading this, I was just a little frustrated last night...

    Thanks again for the advices @rodabod and @Stonehedge

    Sorry to be a pain, but I can't see the notch... I tried removing the adjacent pinion with the flat sprung plate over it hoping it would reveal done notch but no luck...
