I can't reinstall the RF unit just yet.
The ball bearing tuning shaft assembly is badly gummed up and can barely be turned.
So, I removed the shaft assembly...

There is a "C" clip in back which holds this unit together. I removed the clip with the help of two small flat-blade screwdrivers...

...and with some difficulty, I managed to get the parts taken apart.

All of these parts are caked up with dried out grease. I am going to have to soak these parts in a suitable degreaser. Afterwards, I will need to clean the parts thoroughly, add white lithium grease, and reassemble.
