Re: Ambassadeur Up-grading

(30)Put the new pinion gear back in the arm with the open end facing in.I put a drop of oil in the center of the gear where the brass is exposed.Make sure the ends of the arm go into the grooves in the plastic housing ,that keeps the gear in proper alignment.(31)Put the anti-reverse dog back on it's post the same direction you took it off.Put a drop of oil on the post first.(33)Put the driveshaft back on,after putting a few drops of oil on the post.

Re: Ambassadeur Up-grading

(34)Now you have to put the teeth of the driveshaft between the arms of the anti-reverse dog.if it doesn't have enough of an opening ,use a little screwdriver to open the arms,and then push the dog all the way in over the teeth.(35)Place all the washers back on the driveshaft in the same order you they were in.Curved spring washer first,then the chrome,followed by the brass one,then the black shaft bearing.(36)Now it's time to put the new bearings in the side plates.just reverse the process of taking them out,making sure they are all the way down in the housing.Sometimes the newer bearings are a little bit hard to get in.You can sand the outer housing with sandpaper to make them fit better.Sand them until you can push them in without having to use too much pressure,and make sure the go all the way down.Put the cushion back on top of the right side bearing and put the end cap back on tightening it all the way down.Repeat the process on the left side bearing ,putting the centering bearing back on,then putting the cap back on,but only tightening it half way .

Re: Ambassadeur Up-grading

(37)Now it's time to put the side plates back on.Starting with the right side,put the side plate over the brake plate,pushing it down all the way,and lining up the screw holes.If the plate doesn't go all the way down,press the free-spool button slightly with one hand while you hold the side plate and brake plate together with your other hand until the side plate goes all the way down.(3put the side plate screws back in,and tighten them downuntil they are moderately tight.(39)Put the star wheel back on the driveshaft ,making sure it goes on straight.

(49)Now slide the tube through the frame,with the cut end going from right to left,stopping less than half way.Then put the line guide over the tube.Make sure the top of the line guide is in the groove above in the frame bar.(50)Push the tube all the way through until it snaps into place.The open part of the tube should be facing down,and the 2 longer ends of the tube should be on top and on the bottom.(51)put the retaining plate back on the levelwind gear to your right.
