Re: Main furling motor and gear on 54
Nick, You had me fooled. Your original post stated Amel 55, and the 55 furling assembly does not have a worm! I believe that your Amel 54 #19 has the earlier version of the mainsail furling motor and gearbox, similar to the last SMs. I am having difficulty understanding why you would try to remove the worm gear before disassembling the gearbox and removing the spur gear. The spur gear will hold the worm gear in place. Maybe I am not understanding? Anyway, I will post some things here that may or may not help. Here is a disassembled gearbox similar to yours. You can see the worm gear and understand how the spur holds it in place. Also maybe this helps:
