I had a wobbly rear mech, the cage was a bit wobbly and thought I would separate this from the main body to investigate, after cleaning out large amounts of muck from around the spring It was time to reassemble. that was were the swearing started and continued for several minutes until I swore so much I had an epiphany and zip tied the main body in the extended position to allow clearance for the cage to pivot past the cable bolt and tension the spring prior to doing the allen bolt up.
It would seem that swearing really does help a situation much to my other halves disagreement lol
still wobbly though guess its time for a new mech if I want those crisp shifts.
