I installed the belt drive, new gear plate, pinion and brakes.


I did a small spring time test run. Everything seemed fine, butt....


I noticed a puff of smoke from the front, brakes were dragging.


First the darn set screws are a pain to get to, loosend those up.


Now it seems like the middle metal brake plate is stuck a little.


Which way is the easiest to get there?


#1 remove gear plate


or


#2 remove top plate and center pinion mount?

Anyone have any experience with carbon brake pates to replace the metal ones? Saw some on eBay tonight and I can't see where carbon plates would be an improvement.

I'm not using the set screws at all. Used washers on the pins instead. Works just fine. Figured if I need to dissemble everything to get to the set screws, adding another washer on the posts was easier.
