Are you saying you installed the sprocket can first then the outer can plate then the nut then the spring plate?
The spring plate is only held on by the nut shaft. How did you get it to stay in place?

Mudhaiser, my I suggest you invest in a factory service manual. Lots of exploded views to avoid stuff like this. Glad to hear you have it figured out......Steve
