The selector fork has taken the hub to far back and it looks like the locks have popped out Gray. Get a magnet on a stick and you may be able to find them in the bottom of the box if they have not been mashed. They sometimes have a spring and ball pushing them up or a spring clip. If you get stuck I have a knackered RB transfer box in the shed I can rob bits off

A bit like this

Has the transfer box started making a horrible noise? The chain/cogs wear on them quite quickly and they start making a horrible crack crack noise as the chain slips

 

No its quiet as anything, no wine or clatter at all just a pig to change from high to low and back again.

Had a fish around with a magnet and found nothing so started other investigations, disconnected the cable and that was fine, tapped the end of the shaft going into the box and solid so took out this top bolt to find a spring underneath at which point everything freed off a little so a bit of lube and hammer tapping everything freed off till I could change from high to low with 1 finger.

Put it all back together again and locked solid, took the spring out and a little tap, Back to being free again.

Soooooo, what's it for what it do and do I need to put it back or can I just leave it out.

Over to you Bob.....😉

Yes small plunger at bottom which seems to be what is actually sticking, just been trying to get it to move freely again but each time I push it down with an Allen key it sticks down and requires a tap on the end of the shaft a few times to get it to shift again. Put a bit of duck oil in to hopefully work into it and allow it to move again. Time to go home nd find some tea and see what it's like in the morning.

Thanks for your help 👍
