Since I'm under a load and booked myself 7 loads this week (WTF was I thinking? These redheaded step children can't be depended on that long lol!), I don't really want to tear into it until next weekend. Think it's ok to run out the week as-is?

ur just a glutton for punishment... when some1 is here for a rebuild, we throw away those spring loaded gears. they are more of a hazard than they help. Ask waterloo what i think of those gears.
