The idea was to flush out the packing grease and remove any metal pieces as the new gears mesh.
Hope everything goes well. Saw your other posting and do not have anything to suggest regarding the spring.

Thanks, I will probably do something along those lines. It's pretty easy to drain and fill the Toploader due to the drain plug. Interestingly, I still found assembly lube traces inside the cluster gear roller area and in the input roller bearing area. That stuff hangs on.
