Question- im in the middle of an 8274 rebuild and today i used a press to get the cam gear off the brake shaft. Once removed, i removed the o ring and used a wire brush to clean the shaft the best i could but i was unable to push the gear back on (using my hands only). I did oil it but that didnt help either. How tight of a fit it that gear supoosed to be? It looks like it would need to freely move to engage the brake but i'm no winch engineer.
I was simply going to add the new o ring and press the gear back on but wanted some mud expert input before i wreck something.
