Before assembling your new one-way clicker assembly, or if
you are experiencing some binding in the assembly, here is a simple
modification.
Step 1: Take a
Scotch Brite pad and remove the black anodizing from the slipper shaft
(TLR232022) on the clicker side, see figure 1. Once completed, the shaft should
be a metallic color and have a smooth finish, see Figure 2.
Step 2: Using TLR black Grease, place a small amount on the clicker
gear, and gently spread between all teeth, see Figure 3. Note: only a very small amount is needed, as
you just want a small film-like coating layer to prevent the clicker from
binding under load.
Step 3:
Apply a small drop of oil (bearing oil works well) on the slipper shaft and
work-in using your fingers, see Figure 4.
Step 4: Assemble
the clicker assembly, see Figure 5, and if needed remove any excess grease
between the clicker teeth.
Step 5: Complete
and seal your vehicle and enjoy your TLR 22-4!
