      I  took my lower end apart a couple months ago and just got back to putting it back together. I can not figure out how to put  the 1 3/4 spring and what looks like clutches back together. Does the spring go in the propeller  and in what order? Can someone send me  a picture or a parts diagram? Many thanks.

        Hi Craig,

        I remember your last post.  Here’s the link to what I sent you then.  Hopefully others can send more detailed instructions.

          Hi seakaye12. my model 571-58571 is different than the diagrams you sent last time. I have a big 1 3/4 spring and a set of what look like clutches to me. Last night I think I got it put back the right way but I had a flat washer left over which may be important . I’m also not sure if I put the clutches back together right. I think they are to protect the lower end if something is hit by the prop. I’m trying to find a manual to show me how this goes back together. Thanks for the help.
