| - | <html><font size="2"><i>N1EU comments: 1)After disassembly, you will have two very small black plastic pieces: the wedge ("O") and the ramp ("G"). I almost thought they were plastic shrapnel that had broken off the pistol plastic. The diagram does show enough for you to orient them properly and assemble them. 2)The only step I had real difficulty with was at the end of assembly - securing the nuts on the screws holding the end cap on. There's more clearance on one side and I put that nut on first. I then seured the PTO in a vise so I could push the other screw in to expose maximum number of threads. I could then just barely get the 2nd nut on while holding with needle nose pliers.</i></font></html> | + | <html><font size="2"><i>N1EU comments: 1)After disassembly, you will have two very small black plastic pieces: the wedge ("O") and the ramp ("G").

| - | Phil Wood Bicycle grease sold at bike stores makes the claim that it is good until the inclusion of dirt.... Over the years I have used this grease for PTO applications (and many other applications), and have never seen it to separate or harden with time like just about all the others. Try it, you may like it !! | ||

| - | I called a local fancy bike shop some time back looking for Phil Wood grease and was told they had it, but only in tubs. They filled a 35mm film canister for me free. That ought be enough of the stuff to re-grease 50 or more PTO's. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It has been in 5 PTO's for only a year but sure did make them work smooth! | ||

| - | Phil Wood grease is indeed great stuff. In addition to being a great lubricant it is also water proof making it great for fishing gear or other exposed applications. The non-hardening nature of the formulation would make it ideal for PTOs. It is also inexpensive! Most bike shops can get it or it is available nationally from: | ||

| - | This is a well known mail order discount bike store. The main disadvantage is it is green and tends to stain. | ||

| This is a high quality board that has a look and feel similar to the boards that are used in the Corsair II. I mounted mine vertically along the case edge, just to the right of the .25 filter position, using an existing hole in the chassis. | This is a high quality board that has a look and feel similar to the boards that are used in the Corsair II.
