Step 6: Install 4:1 Gear Set and VersaPlanetary Lite Ring Gear
APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE LITHIUM GREASE ON THE CARRIER PLATE
PINS AND GEAR TEETH. LUBRICATING THE CARRIER PLATE PINS WILL HELP
REDUCE FRICTION BETWEEN THE PIN AND THE PLANET GEAR, WHICH WILL
IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND LONGEVITY OF THE GEARBOX. BE CAREFUL NOT
TO OVER LUBRICATE THE GEARBOX TO THE POINT WHERE THE GEARBOX
BECOMES DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN.
Next, install the 4:1 Gear Set so that the sun gear is engaged with the 5:1 Gear Set's carrier
plate. Once the 4:1 Gear Set is installed, slide the VersaPlanetary Lite Ring Gear over the 4:1
Gear Set. Make sure that the ring gear is seated all the way into the 5:1 Gear Set's
VersaPlanetary Lite Ring Gear.
