My black ring was held securely in place.  The previous owner used silicone, and I had to do some prying to get it out.  The inner mechanism (what I called the barrel) popped forwards somewhat even with the black ring in place, which is what caused the gears to no longer mesh.

I will try contacting Amel.

Thanks,

Hi Ryan,

Aletes also suffered from the black ring working itself loose. We drilled and tapped a ¼” hole on either side of the housing and installed set screws to secure the black ring in place.

Hi Ryan,

I don't really know what the answer is, but we had problems with that black ring rotating and becoming loose until I used 5200 to stick it to the housing.

It's possible that the black ring is what holds it all together i.e.keeps the shaft in place.

 

Olivier would know for sure.....Olivier ?

 

Cheers
