You are right Larry. The Assy Manual, sheets 115 and 116, shows the reel at the center access cover and the clevis pin connection to cable at the rear access cover. (I think). The maintenance manual shows a picture in Sec 3, pg 160 that says reel is in "front access hole", but verbage on the next sheet says "center" access hole. The picture in the ASSY Manual shows center access hole between side windows. So the place it says "front" is wrong. (I think). Check it out somebody.
