Dear All,
I've just had a small job done on the nosepiece of my PA's cwp assembly to
insert an oil seal. A kind of triple-M rhinoplasty, I daresay...
The assembly has come back to me assembled as previously, and I have yet to
instal it into the main gear housing.
Before doing that, I note that the pinion now slides lengthwise (rearwards)
within the housing by about 3/16 of an inch from the front "stop".
Previously I was not aware of any such movement. The bearings are fine,
with no shake in any plane, and the pinion is located firmly at the forward
end of its travel - which I believe is where the thrust occurs.
Do I merely insert the nosepiece into the main housing and check for
end-float as usual?
Or does it sound like the nosepiece assembly needs further attention - I
said it was a silly question....
Meanwhile - back to the Christmas turkey - best wishes to all.
