No need for fear. They're easily broken down and rebuilt. Sometimes that's the only way to diagnose and solve a problem. Just be careful to note the order of assembly of the parts. Clean, lube and recenter will probably fix you right up.

"Acting funny" is not adequate descriptive information.

Anyone have some words of advice.
