Hello,

Working on a 38-10 where the tuning cap gears have separated. I have got one spring out that was jamming the ability to rotate the shaft but can't get at the other one. I have removed the tuning shaft in order to free it up since the center does nothing. Probably hardened grease. Any ideas on how to get the rest of it apart so I can get the one gear back in place and both springs back.

Thanks,
Dan
