to the left before carefully sliding the friction
wheel assembly off the shaft.

reassemble.
If you only want to replace the rubber ring,
proceed as follows:
1. Remove the eight screws which secure the
friction wheel's side plates together.
2. Remove the rubber ring from between the
plates.
3. Reassemble the side plates with a new rubber
ring.
When reassembling the friction wheel
assembly, make sure that rubber ring is
centered and seated properly between the
side plates. Tighten each screw only one
rotation before turning the wheel clockwise
and proceeding with the next screw on the
other side of the wheel. Repeat this process
