sorry im a lil confused , so what im looking for is play between basket (which is the thing with the plates) and the gear right ? . . . so i take both basket and gear off and check for play when there both off the bike and in my hand ? also i am somewhat mechanically inclined but im not an expert . is this very straight forward job ? cuz i see that the screws on basket are spring loaded . . just sizing the job up to see if i can do it myself instead of taking it to rip off dealer . thanks in advance i appreciate the response
