    Hello
    Old post but this project was on my storage as I was moving and getting back now.
    So looks like the spring is installed on my shoulder of the pulley before installing into pulley. But it doesn’t generate enough friction to move the pawls out.

    Could it be that I sprayed lubricant inside spring area and I messed it up?
