Is it a straining sound?

Greg.
Hi Greg, I don't think its a straining sound, more like a scratching or scraping sound. I'm pretty familiar with the worm blocks now as I have dismantled the DEC block a few times when I found a loose bearing. I have a day off tomorrow so I will inspect and report back then.

Cheers

Hi Peter, I can see that now, but I don't recall noticing anything there at the time. Its definitely a metallic sound.

Hopefully Ill have an answer tomorrow!
