19. Remove drive shaft and drive pinion (17 tooth)
from housing. Inspect gear teeth for any dam-
age. Replace if necessary. Also inspect splines
on drive shaft for wear or damage. Replace if
necessary.
20. Reassembly is the reverse order of disassem-
bly. Bolts securing both housing halves are
self-tapping bolts and must be torqued to 80 to
120 in-lbs. Over torquing bolts will strip out
threads. If any of these threads are stripped,
drill (using 1/4 inch drill) through damaged
boss. Reinstall a 1/4-20 Grade 5 bolt and nut
reaching through both housings. Use Locktite
#242 on nut and torque to 80 to 120 in-lbs.
