    Simple toolsTools: Allen keys

  2. A cross engine in the handle loads the pinion on one side: asymmetric wear and noise. His holding plate must hold him without play.

    Simple toolsTools: Precision screwdriver

  3. Gearbox open: normal wear polishes teeth, abnormal wear breaks them. A cushion that has taken play in the hull replaces itself, often with bearings.

    DismantlingTools: Precision screwdriver

  4. Side play barely perceptible, free hand rotation, thin layer of fat on teeth.
