CAUTION ATTENTION In next step, ring gear (12), pinion (11) and key (13) will be removed. If ring (12) and pinion (11) are to be reused, identify them, with a marker or the like, so it can be determined to which housing they belong (if there is more than one housing in pump) and which direction face of each gear was positioned in housing.

NOTE: If round gear housing (3) will not slide easily off shaft (6) and this is the last round housing (3) to be removed, clamp round housing (3) in a vise with front cover (1) free. With a soft headed hammer, tap alternately on mounting ears of front cover (1) to separate it from round housing (3).
15. Remove O-rings (40 and 80) from bearing housing (9). NOTE: If neither ball bearing (31) nor seal (51) are to be replaced or inspected, disassembly is complete. If either of these components are to be replaced or inspected for any reason, proceed as below. 16.
3. RING GEAR OD – Light scratching and polishing is acceptable. If scoring is present, ring gear should be replaced. 4. HOUSING a. Faces – Some light scratching is acceptable, but if there is any scoring, the part should be replaced.

CAUTION ATTENTION Take extreme care not to damage seal mating face or O-ring during assembly. Do not touch seal face with any tools. After installation, clean face with solvent and soft, lint free cloth. CAUTION ATTENTION If seal mating face is not bottomed out in bore of bearing housing (9), seal could be severely damaged.

17. Reinstall bearing retainer (70) onto bearing housing (9) with cap screws (75). Tighten capscrews with torque wrench per assembly drawing torque values. 18. Install first stage key (13), chamfer side up, into keyway of shaft (6) and push it up as far possible toward drive end of pump.

27. Install second stage pinion gear (11) on shaft (6). Pinion gear (11) should slide freely on shaft (6) and key (13). If not, ensure key (13) is properly installed and shaft (6) and pinion (11) keyway are free of burrs. Ensure pinion (11) is installed in stage from which it was removed and is facing direction from which it was removed.
CAUTION ATTENTION If gears are installed in wrong housing, pump may not perform properly or may seize during operation. This is because gears are matched to each housing individually and may not have correct clearances if installed in another housing. If gears are installed facing wrong direction, pump may not perform properly or may seize during operation.
