Heh. In other words, deal with it. The pawl springs are hard to put in, but you only have to do it once every 40 years. In contrast with the SW, which, if I understand right, addressed this problem by having moon-shaped pawls that have no springs. I suppose the intention was that the pawls would swing back and forth from momentum, but that can only work if you can control the viscosity of the oil perfectly, which is, in retrospect, a preposterous hope.
