How do I change the T-10 spindle, took covers off, removed packing nut, removed brass body, removed spindle. Replaced the same and now the handle is hard to turn

Thank You

OK this got me thinking pretty hard. I do a lot of repair work and can't picture what a T-10 spindle even is, tell us.

Hi! bosox824, welcome to AMHD :) , Hi! b1, you must have been reading my mind.

Since there's a packing nut, maybe it wasn't pre-loaded properly or is set to tight?

Well Boso,
Seems like we all want to know what in hell a " T-10 spindle" is and what's its function Google didn't have a clue so enlighten us. Cheers, Tom

I guess it just the one slightly larger than my T 9
