Changing Gears on Your MI-1220 LTD
To change gears on the MI-1220 LTD follow these steps.
Tools required:
10-mm wrench
6-mm Allen wrench
Screwdriver (to remove C clips)
Pliers (to replace C clips)
1. Remove all C clips, nuts, and gears, starting with the A gear and ending with the D

gear shaft counterclockwise (Figure 13.1). This allows the shaft to slide freely along the
bracket for easy gear removal and replacement.

and nut.
