Ben,
It sounds as though you also need to check the thrust bearing. IIRC, there is an upgrade for that, which greatly increases the longevity of the drive.

Kelly, it's a 2.17.
It appears that the four nuts on the back side hold the input shaft bearing with big flat washers. Unfortunately, the bearing allows the shaft to move up and down a lot and their is too much shaft movement forward and back. Their was a reverberation at 3200 rpm that sounded like it was coming from the planetary gear.
This is on a Subaru engine, not a rotary. My 20B is still on my workbench.
Thanks!
Ben

Ben,
Is your Ross drive 2.17-1 or 2.85-1 ? --
Kelly Troyer Dyke Delta/13B/RD1C/EC2 -------------- Original message from "Ben Baltrusaitis" <ben@gmpexpress.net>: -------------- I need to get my Ross redrive apart to check the planetary gear. I have the whole unit off the engine and the 16 nuts off the cone where the planetary gear is located, but I can't get it to come apart.
Do I have to take the four nuts off the back side to get the cone off?
I don't have assembly instructions. I would really appreciate someone's help!
Thanks!
Ben
