[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 103796, member: 597"] Chris, It is generally just a flat recess machined in the center end of the C3, the flat inner face of the C20 nut actually sits inside this recess or a bit less if the Dowty type seal is in there. I take Vic's point about any back and forth play in the spline of the C3 when placed on the mainshaft spline. Not unlike a loose sprocket on the G4 output shaft that loosens the sprocket nut. That is why I mentioned that generally if this happened to be the case, the outer smooth area that the chainwheel bushes and seal run on, is generally worn as well, and a replacement of the G3 is really the best option. Spline repair is generally difficult and expensive, more so than the cost of a new G3, remembering some of these parts are very old and may have suffered issues for a long time that only adds to the problem. If you have a reoccurring problem, sometimes the only cure is to replace the offending parts..........We are lucky that they are available to us...........For now. [/QUOTE]
