Snorkel Gear Backlash Procedure
3. Press the gear back towards the retaining ring. Avoid
excessive force so the retaining ring is not damaged or pre-
stressed significantly.
IMPORTANT: Failure to press the gear back against
the washer and retaining ring will lead to a gear
backlash change after vehicle is placed into service.
1. Reassemble the snorkel tube and snorkel shaft assembly by
reversing the disassembly procedure (see "Snorkel Shaft
Removal/Disassembly" in previous section).
4. Apply a small amount ofwhite lithium grease or Anti-Seize
on the threads of the snorkel tube.
NOTE: If pinion shaft was disassembled, the bearing
cover must be installed on the shaft before installing
the 46T gear.
