Evening!

The small crank arm on the left launcher broke and I took apart the launcher and housing, replacing the small crank arm. I had taken the gun motor off before realizing the whole harness gets removed.

While both the gears in the housing and the motor spin freely when separated, they are locked up when I insert the motor into the gear housing. Concerned if I power it up it will strip the gears (it doesn't budge under medium pressure from my fingers on the crank arm.)

Could this be why the crank arm broke in the first place? Does it just need power and it will work fine or have I somehow misaligned it?

Newbie here, looking for constructive ideas or criticism. Thanks!

I replaced an arm on mine recently. I couldn't budge mine when all put together. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Launcher works, it is slightly misaligned which is a known problem that I will now jump on and research the solution for! Meanwhile, my 3 year old son has reported from Starfleet Academy for duty...
