8.Slide the gears on the upper adjustable shaft to the top of the gear bracket, and hand tight- en the shaft to keep it from meshing with the gears on the lower shaft.

9.Remove the 35T and 90T gears (those in the forward position on each adjustable shaft).

10.Place the 50T gear on the upper adjustable shaft and place the 66T gear on the lower adjustable shaft. Note—when placing the gear on the lower adjustable shaft, slide it up or down to make it mesh with the gear on the pivot shaft.

11.Place the special lock washers on each adjustable shaft to ensure the gears are completely in place.

12.Thread the hex nuts back onto the shafts, and hold the shaft in place with the shaft wrench as you tighten the hex nut.

13.Loosen the upper shaft to allow the gears to slide down the gear bracket and mesh with the middle set of gears.
