It has a new Milodon bronze gear in it now. Should I get a Crane set up? I'm not into being a guinea pig... I can't afford to do this twice? Comments? Thanks Brad

But there's no easy way the salvage the pin. The pin is not a standard roll pin. It appears the fit between the gear and the shaft is an "interference" fit. To make a long story short putting the gear on the shaft appears to be a job for a machine shop. By the way, the instructions say not to use the gear on a cam that has already been used with another type of gear.

Bummer about not supplying it with the shaft. Not very good marketing IMO?
