TRANSMISSION

6. Inspect the pinion shaft assembly. Replace bearings

if needed. Inspect each gear for damage, chips or

abnormally worn teeth.

Bearing Cover

Pinion Shaft

If pinion shaft was disassembled, the bearing cover

must be installed on the shaft before installing the gear.

7. Install the pinion shaft assembly. Be sure to properly

mesh the snorkel shaft bevel gear with the pinion

shaft bevel gear.

8. Apply Loctite

to the threads of the bearing

cover retaining screws.

9. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, install only the three

that secure the pinion shaft assembly as

shown below. Leave the longer locking screw

at this point. Torque the bearing cover retaining

screws to specification.

Transmission Bearing Plate / Snorkel Shaft Locking

DO NOT install the longer screw. Installing the longer

screw will lock the snorkel tube and not allow for

backlash setting adjustment.

10. Rotate the snorkel tube counterclockwise using the

snorkel tool until the snorkel gear and pinion gear

have 'zero' backlash.

DO NOT overtighten the snorkel tube. At the 'zero'

backlash position, you should still be able to turn the

snorkel shaft using your fingers, but it will feel rough

and may have some tight spots.
