Took it to a machine shop, I don't know HOW they did it, but thats my game plan this time. Put the lime in the coconut,,, STOP, done.
I was afraid that was the procedure although I've seen some screw attachments. Hey if you've got dough to spend, get a whole new 18 pound f'wheel. Big difference for throttle response.

But if you keep the gear, take parts to machine shop, come back and do all your drinking-when you wake up your parts will be done.
