PLANET CARRIER SERVICE

3. Now you can remove the planet shafts, bearings,
spacer, thrust washers and gears. Thoroughly
clean all parts and inspect for damage and wear.
The bearing rollers should not exhibit any
irregularities. If the rollers show any sign of
spalling, corrosion,
displacement or abnormal wear, the bearing
should be replaced. Likewise, the cage should
be inspected for unusual wear or deformation,
particularly the cage bars. If there is any damage
that will impair the cage's ability to separate,
retain and guide the rollers properly, the bearing
should be replaced. The thrust washer contact
areas should be free from any surface
irregularities that may cause abrasions or friction.
The gears and shafts should be inspected for
abnormal wear or pitting. Replace if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
1. Place the output planet carrier on workbench
with splined coupling side down. Install output
thrust plate in center of carrier.
CAUTION
PD17A winches have an internal retaining ring to hold the
thrust plate into the carrier. This retaining ring MUST be
properly installed and fully seated before the planet gears
are installed.
