Hi guys,

I originally posted this over on maintenace but soemone pointed out it might do better here. Here is the copy 'n' paste:

I don't suppose anyone knows which side of the blade the two different sized washers belong on? When I removed the blade, they fell off before I noticed there was different sizes (diameter difference, not thickness). I think it does actually matter, otherwise they would be of uniform size. Even if you don't know for sure, I'd love to hear some reasoned guesses. Thanks for your help.
 
Thanks a bunch. I will do that. But does anyone know why smaller diameter goes on the linerlock side? I'm looking, thinking... nothing. I got nothing. Can't see why.
 
Try it the wrong way and you will see. I believe the large washer will make contact with the liner lock.

Nah, don't think I'll try the other way to find out; those suckers will bend if you breathe on them the wrong way. I got 'em in as per SecSpyral's reply (without creasing them:)) and it's working like new. I was just curious about the "nut 'n' bolts" of it all. I'm happy. Thanks again.
