[6pack] A-Type O/D Issue

[Larry Young]

Welcome to the club.  You should read the article that Sam Clark and I 
have at http://www.vtr.org/maintain-index.shtml.  We stand it up on the 
tail end so the splines will not move relative to each other.  Another 
tip not in the article is to first do it without springs to get the 
splines lined up.  Then do it with the springs, making sure they are all 
in the right places.  It is still difficult.  Maybe someone else has a 
better way, but this has worked for us (eventually).  Many adapter 
plates have been broken, so be careful.
