And that (fully compressed + some) barely worked. I don't 'like' that fix. It's stupid and allows no adjustability. Others state they have no problems. So this "problem" has never been officially resolved, only opinions on the fixes either behind the slipper, in front, the basket etc.(along with controversy on which (rear or front) is better.)
So thank you for showing me the search option, but I have done my research and was looking for some help about the 550 castle. Because my 540 works. The difference is what my original post and question was asking.
Coyote do you show any slipper disk wear on the inside slipper disk or inside hub? I had the same problem you are having but only the outside disk showed any sort of wear, and the inside hub and disk were like brand new.
I was going to take some steel wool (or really light sand paper) to the inside hub and roughin it up a bit so it grabs. Although this doesn't help your case that the slipper spring is fully compressed perhaps you can get a new spring and see if it any better.
Just trying to throw some things out there for you to check. If interested PM me as this thread is way to big to look for a response.
