-- Coat the mounting pin with engine oil and insert it. The alignment pin -arrow- for the mounting pin must engage in the hole in the cylinder block.

NOTE:

Always replace the intermediate sprocket. Otherwise the backlash will not adjust itself and it could result in engine damage.

The new intermediate sprocket has an anti-friction coating that wears off after a short period of use, which automatically adjusts the backlash.
