DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)
CAUTION: The countershaft bearings can be
installed backwards if care is not exercised. Be
sure the large diameter side of the roller retainer
faces the countershaft and the small diameter side
faces the race and housing (Fig. 110).
(4) Apply extra petroleum jelly to hold counter­
shaft rear bearing in place when housing is installed.
(5) Apply light coat of petroleum jelly to shift shaft
bushing/bearing i n rear housing (Fig. 110).
(6) Reach into countershaft rear bearing with fin­
ger, and push each bearing roller outward against
race. Then apply extra petroleum jelly to hold rollers
in place. This avoids having rollers becoming dis­
placed during housing installation. This will result in
misalignment between bearing and countershaft
bearing hub.
