Replaced the hydraulic lines, working on the variable sheave. Read all the posts on here, still cant find an answer to how to remove it. I must be missing something... 1) Removed the side cover, disconnected the line to the swivel 2) Removed the small circlip that hold the swivel in, popped out the internal parts 3) There is a large end cap that I just can't get off. It is held by a circlip, which I can see, but its RECESSED into the end cap. It looks like you need to slide the endcap down the shaft, then pop the endcap off. Problem is, you can't side it!!! This looks like a c-clip. It doesnt have ears on it, like the pic in the schematic. I loosened the tension on the belt, and use 2 clamps to squeeze the sheave halves closer together. I got them to move about 1/4 inch, that it. Its like there is a powerful spring that immediately pushes the halves apart, but I don't see any springs in the schematic!!! Whats the force that keeps these apart??? With the belt tension removed, should I be able to compress these with my hands? The end cap easily spins on the shaft, but you can't push it back even 1/8 of an inch, to get the recessed c-clip off. Looked a bit behind it with a mirror, there is nothing holding it. No rust, no damage. How do I get this recessed circlip off??? What am I missing here???</p></blockquote><p></p>
