7 Transmission Repair
7C Hydro-Gear 216-3010L
7. Remove the reduction gear/jack shaft and brake shaft
assembly.
Note: It may be necessary to remove these assemblies
at the same time because of an overlapping condition
(only if the jack shaft will not pull out of the reduction
gear freely). Inspect gear teeth for damage or unusual
wear.
8. Removal of the input shaft assembly will require
applying pressure onto the end of each bearing
retainer while lifting the assembly from the housing
(the top bearing retainer has a wave style spring
washer in it to make up any end play). The use of
gasket sealant in this area may make it difficult to
remove this assembly without the use of a pry tool
(as shown).
9. Press the input pinion assembly out of the housing
for inspection of the gear teeth and the bearing.
Replace assembly if any unusual wear or damage is
found.
