See Figure 21.
• Assemble the thrust bearing package (F), being
sure to put the race with the writing on it in the fixed
swashplate (G) first, then the bearing and other race.
If desired, petroleum jelly can be used to help hold
the parts in place.
• Assemble the motor output shaft (H), motor rotating
group (E, A), fixed swashplate (G) and brake rotor (K)
together. If desired, a rubber band can be used to
hold the pistons in the motor rotating group. Once
assembled the rubber band will have to be cut to
remove it.
• Apply some petroleum jelly to the center section to
hold the pin and washer (D) that lifts the motor rotat-
ing group off the center section. You may also want
to apply some to the locating bosses to make assem-
bly easier.
• Be sure that the bypass shaft is in the drive position
before assembling the center section. If it is not, it
can catch the pin (D) and damage these parts Use a
small screwdriver to push the pin all the way in to pre-
vent it from catching on the bypass shaft.
• Be sure the fixed swashplate (G) is oriented correct-
ly noting the letter from disassembly.

• Using hand pressure only, push the center section
straight down (Figure 22). At the same time com-
press the fixed swashplate in so it can drop into the
upper case. Also pay attention to the motor output
shaft so that the bearing gets properly seated as well.
Caution: at no time use the bolts for the center sec-
tion to draw it down with out first seating it by hand.
• Insert the bolts (Figure 23) and draw them up even-
ly, rotating the motor as you go. If it binds, stop,
loosen the bolts and try again. If that does not correct
the problem, it may be necessary to remove the bolts
completely and retry the complete procedure. Once
seated, snug the bolts gently down.
• Operate the dump valve lever and you should see
the motor rotating group lift off the center section.
• Operate the pump by installing the input pulley and
rotating it. If it cannot be rotated there is a problem
and the center section will need to be loosened or
removed to correct.
• Torque the bolts to 35-47 ft. lbs. (47-50 NM)
