Armature Drive disk should sit almost flush with fiber gear, with the deeper recess of the fiber gear facing the large hex nut retaining the steel pressure ring and Star spring. Hex nut should not contact cover when assembled. There may be some slight issues with bearing spacing on the armature which is shifting the armature position. The outer gear case covers can become a bit distorted from decades of use and abuse as well.

A bit of grease on the fiber gear teeth is all that is required.

Hope this is useful...

Part number 463.112 is very prone to distortion...I have had some made from a thicker material to cure the problem...This also helps the spring 463.114 if it isn't a new one, adding a little pre load to compensate for any 'settling' of the spring..
