8. Remove the manual- shaft lever.
9. Remove the TR switch.

Can you get to the back and hold the shaft so the nut can come off?

Roy

No, it should not spin free. There is a notch that keeps in locked to the shaft.

You will have to get that off before you can access the damage.

Get the nut off and pull off the piece and send me more pictures.

Roy

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.
