All,

My recollection is that Olivier commented on this issue before and suggested silicone sealant (RTV).

In the photo it looks as though there are threads at the end of the outer housing by the gear?  if so could they be stripped?

Just an observation

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
