Hi Justin Davies, taken from the same article I referenced for this procedure, here are the assembly instructions: Reinstallation: This is a bit more tricky. After thoroughly cleaning and oiling the parts, slip the shaft into the engine, and gently reassemble the thrust washer (if used) and prop drive plate onto the shaft. Get the drive plate started into the same grooves as used in the original assembly, then use a stack of washers and one of the hex screws to pull the drive plate all the way down to the stop on the shaft. Recheck that the drive plate runs true (no wobble). Note that I specify a hex-head screw because it requires no pushing to be turned.

Hi Mario, I agree. I'll be honest, it felt weird using a hammer. I followed the instructions from an old hobby magazine for these engines, and that was the step. A rubber mallet is on my Christmas list however :)

Glad it was helpful!
A really useful video! What is the procedure for refitting the crankshaft and drive washer?

Schonender waere ein Schraubstock!
Why not rubber mallet instead of a one lb. claw hammer, good directions though.

@@thiswomps352 Don't get me wrong I didn't mean any disrespect about the 10 lb. hammer, its really good info. cheers.
