INSTALLING DETENT LEVERS
The Print Clutch Detent Levers rest in the notches on the cams to keep them from rotating from this rest position. While the Print Clutch Latch is holding the Print Clutch Dog so the tooth is out of the Print Clutch Shaft flutes, the cams should be sitting with a notch on their perimeter in position for the Print Clutch Detent to fall into the notch and keep the cam from turning.
The bar holding them attaches down high on the frame on the front side of the printer. The bar is a very tight machined fit between the frames, requiring quite a bit of finessing to slid the bar between the frame sides and move it up to the mounting position. I had to tap the bar with a hammer to move it around to line up the threaded holes that bolts will screw into.
The Print Clutch Restore levers are next up. These are even more difficult to start between the frame sides, as the surface rust on the frame sides meaningfully tightens the clearance between the restore assembly and the frames. I ran out of time fighting with this by the end of the workday.
