How does the crank move the spline gear?

HI Maharshi the crankshaft is like a gear itself, it is a geared system to move the spline which moves the wedges up down.

question: why copper grease ?

[@theuniversalgripcompany]

Copper Grease is an anti-seize compound. since there is no rubber, plastic or anything else, just steel on steel, copper grease is the best option instead of oil or synthetic lubricant. Copper grease also operates well in a wide range of temperatures -100C to +1,000C. Many other lubricants and greases will freeze or burn/evaporate. Copper grease also stays put, it doesn't leak everywhere and get messy. Copper Grease remains the best option.
