MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Inspection Adjust of the clearance of
the Output shaft Bearings
The clearance the output shaft bearing is con-
trolled by the size of the snap ring that holds
the bearings in the bearing cage. The snap
rings are available in increments of 0.003-inch
(0.076 mm). Install the snap ring which results in
an clearance of 0.001-0.004-inch (0.025-0.102
mm).
1. Place the output shaft and the bearing cage
assembly into a vise with soft metal covers
onthejawsofthevise.
2. Use an installation tool to install the fork or
angeintheoutputshaft.Donotusethenut
to draw the fork in the output shaft. Do not
install the oil seal at this time.
3.Installthenutthatfastenstheforkorangeto
the output shaft. Place a holding tool on the fork
or ange and tighten the nut to the specied
torque. See the Section 8.
4.Pushtheforkorangetowardthecageandro-
tate the shaft in each direction to verify that the
bearings are correctly installed.
5. Install a dial indicator so that the base of the in-
dicator is on the mounting ange of the cage.
The pointer of the indicator must touch the fork
orangeendoftheoutputshaft.Setthedialin-
dicator to ZERO. Figure 5.92.
6.Placeprybarsunder theforkor angeand
pushtheforkorangeawayfromthecage.
Record the reading on the dial indicator. The
reading must be 0.001-0.004-inch (0.025-
0.102 mm). The reading is the measurement
of the clearance on the output bearing.
• If the clearance reading is not 0.001-0.004-
inch (0.025-0.102 mm), remove and replace
the snap ring that fastens the bearings in the
cage. Install a thinner snap ring to increase
the clearance. Install a thicker snap ring to de-
crease the clearance. Figure 5.93.
7.Removethenutthatfastenstheforkorange
to the output shaft. Use the correct puller tool
to remove the fork.
Installation Unitized Pinion Seal
1. Remove the old seal. Do not damage the
bearing cage seal surface area. Do not touch
or allow dirt or grease to contaminate the
sealing surface areas or the adjacent bear-
ings.
2. Inspect the bearing cage seal area for damage
that could cause lubricant leaks after you install
the seal. Use emery paper or an equivalent
product to remove scratches, nicks or burrs.

SNAP RING
To increase the clearance, install a thinner snap ring.
To decrease the clearance, install a thicker snap ring.
