If its working? So im assuming thats something that wearss out or brakes. How often does that happen? And im guessing the only fix is to complete replace with new kit

I assume you have a 9-bolt. If so, the following will be an interesting read:

Yes. The internals can wear out, break or need re-adjusting. Depends on how hard/often it's used and your luck.
