OK, so I finally got bit by the steam bug. I purchased a used Spectrum 4-6-2 that has a dead motor in it. I had some problems disassembling it, but finally I got it apart. And now the questions: 1. How can I pull the gear off of the shaft? It is an older Spectrum with a single shaft motor with one gear on the end of it. I don't care about the motor, but I don't want to damage the gear. Is there a tool out there? 2. During the disassembly process, I forgot to take notes on the placement of the side drive rods where they connect to the drive wheels. They fell off during this process and I'm not sure of the correct placement. I assume they should be placed back into the correct orientation. Is there some sort of diagram, or rule on how these should be placed. I'm counting on you steam buffs to help this newbie out. Dave
