Can anyone help? I've removed the "fender" (main body panel) to service/repair the fuel pump (now fine) and managed to remove fender without removing the cam rod for the mower height adjustment knob - I just couldn't seem to get it off and luckily, with a bit of a 'twist" I could ease the fender off.
Different story getting it back on, just can't seem to ease/twist in reverse! My options seem to be to cut a channel in the fender to slide the cam rod into/through (not the end of the world) or take the cam rod off like I should have done in the first place. BUT: I can loosen the cam mounting nut easily enough (loosen, but it doesn't seem to remove completely) but can't then unscrew the cam rod itself. Tried plenty of force, but really don't want to shear off the rod as replacing it and potentially the cam behind looks like it would involve massive amounts of stripping down.
Am I missing something or should this be straightforward? Very frustrating as I've fixed the underlying problem - fuel pump - and now just want to put it all back together again!
