REFLECTOR: Franklin Mag

[John Dibble]

Guilty as charged.  I have the slick mag off.  The A/P I work with does not have the
tool to hold the mag while it is apart, but he says if I keep the gear from moving I
don't need the tool.  Anyone agree?
What is the gap?  0.018?
How do I make sure it is lined up right for remounting to the engine?

Thanks,
John
