There are a pair of pressed in bearings which you should make sure are located correctly, not driven in toward the center. If the shaft still binds, it's probably the valve head that's sticking. You could try a little valve grinding compound in there to give it some clearance. Make sure to clean it all out when you're finished. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
