[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 399517, member: 7076"] I would replace that cup. Bending the tab back may work for a short while, but it will eventually fail at the worst possible time in the future. You know how that works. As for the pinion, I've found that lube is a good and bad thing on it. It will usually get it to work for a short while, but later when the lube starts to dry out or collect dirt, it only makes the situation worse. I've found that cleaning both the pinion and the pulley out with a good cleaner keeps it moving properly. Both parts are plastic and should slide easily if they are clean. If you're still having issues after cleaning it out, maybe a little powdered graphite would help. What I've found is that the bottom face of the pinion and the top face of the pulley stick together when lubed. The surface tension created prevents the pinion from moving up. Usually spinning a rag under the pinion when it is lifted will remove enough of the lube to make an immediate improvement. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
