It could be the gear needs shimming.
It's an older Jegs unit. I'll have to pull the cover and take a look. It still works so I haven't really messed with it. I will tho, I didn't realize they were rebuildable. It was $289.99 when I ordered it in July 2020.
ok, looks like Similar style head and it shows they have a PDF for there version. https://www.jegs.com/InstallationInstructions/500/555/555-80102_i.pdf
Jegs should be able to get parts for it.
