I just got done looking at it. What an excellent resource. It's a must-have for any x3 owner!

If no one hosts the file in the next day or two, I will.

Unfortunately, I might have broomed the man out of my garage before I could see what he could do; he used a steel/iron ball-pein hammer to loosen the drawbar! You would think he would have a brass hammer kicking around. Otherwise the teardown manual is great.

I've read that working on the quill return spring is not fun.

I would scribe or stamp witness marks on the side plates so the rear strap and the plates are assembled the same way if came from the factory. The alignment pin locations might be unique.

Sigh, I wish I could buy a metric X3 in the USA.
