I can’t test the theory just yet as the outside of the variator was so stripped it wobbled a bit. The nut could have come loose, but I thought it seemed pretty tight when I removed it.
There isn’t supposed to be something (e.g. a washer) behind the assembly, is there? I didn’t think so, but I figured I’d ask.
So I’ve ordered a new assembly (and nut). I’ll put it on and test your theory then and report back. My worst fear is that the spleens on the crank are too worn as I’ve no desire to replace the whole crank.
