Input Gear/Bearing: Reassembly

Clean input gear, cover/bearing housing and main casing.
Using tool LRT-99-002 and LRT-41-003 fit NEW bearings to input gear. See Fig 1 .
Using a suitable mandrel, fit bearing track to main casing.
Fit a 3.15 mm (0.12") thick shim to bearing housing and using a suitable mandrel fit bearing track to housing.
Position input gear to main casing.
Fit bearing housing, ensuring reference marks are aligned, secure bearing housing with 2 bolts and tighten to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.). See Fig 2 .
Position dial gauge with stylus contacting input gear, push input gear rearwards and zero gauge.
Push input gear forwards and note gauge reading.
Calculate thickness of shim required using the formula - A + B + C = D where:
- A = Thickness of installed shim - 3.15 mm (0.12").
- B = Recorded end-float.
- C = Required pre-load - 0.05 mm (0.002").
- D = Thickness of shim required.
If an alternative shim is required to establish correct pre-load, fit an alternative shim. Shims are available from 3.15-4.00 mm (0.12-0.16") thickness, in increments of 0.05 mm (0.002").
Remove 2 bolts, remove bearing housing and input gear.
Lubricate input gear and bearings with recommended oil.
Position input gear into main casing.
Apply sealant, Part No. STC 4600 to bearing housing and cover.
Apply sealant, Part No. STC 50552 to threads of cover bolts and stud nut.
Position bearing housing/cover, align reference marks and tighten bolts and stud nut by diagonal selection to 45 N.m (33 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Oil seal must be fitted dry.
