Replying to Ted's most recent question here is the information my friend provided: "You cannot go into that space without taking the worms off the shaft-as they are a force fit- I did not want to remove them- the half washer -cut with a pair of metal shears -very thin and soft-cuts no problem-flatten any distortion. And clean any burrs caused by the cutting-insert in gear box-it's just a space-it's not going to wear-pack gearbox with high quality grease. I use Nano grease.
