See Figs. 72-51, 72-52 and 72-53.
Heat gearbox housing (1) with hot air (or in an oven) to approx 100
(212 °F). Press shaft seal (2) into the gearbox housing from the inside,
using insertion jig, part no. 876518, and grease sealing lips (3). Add
radius ring (4) 36/50/ 5.5 with rounded side towards shaft seal. The
weight of the ball bearing (5) must cause it to fall into the bearing point
of the heated gearbox housing. Fix ball bearing in position, using 4
hardened washers (6) 7.2/18.8/3 and hex. screws (7) M7x16.
◆ NOTE:
Secure screws with LOCTITE 221 and tighten to 15 Nm
(130 in.lb).
Slide the propeller shaft into the gearbox housing and place on a
suitable flat surface (8). Apply LOCTITE Anti-Seize to the bearing seat
(10) of the propeller shaft (9). Fit a sleeve (12 which is approx. 30 mm
(1.18 in.) longer than the propeller shaft. The inner diameter should be
selected so that the sleeve presses against the inner ring (11). Press
on the gearbox housing, turning it slightly (left-right).
■ CAUTION : Do not tap!
It is an advantage if the gearbox housing is still warm at this stage.
Place distance sleeve (13) 35.2/42/8 and eccenter (14) for the fuel
pump onto the propshaft.
Place these components on horizontally and in this order: step collar
(15) with the ø40.8 mm ( 1.60") towards the disc spring, then two disc
springs (16) facing each other and the third disc spring (17) with its back
to the second disc spring. Make sure that the disc springs lie against
the centering rib (18) of the clutch hub. Apply LOCTITE Antiseize to the
tooth profile of the slipper clutch (19) and place it onto the propeller
shaft.
Carefully fit pre-oiled bearing bushing (20) onto the propeller shaft
using circlip pliers. Push on dog gear (21), apply LOCTITE Anti-Seize
to both sides of the plastic thrust washer (22) 33.2/51/1.2 and place it
on together with drive gear (23).
◆ NOTE:
Gearboxes without an overload clutch have no third
disc spring (17), centering rib or slipper clutch. Instead,
they are fitted with a second step collar, see Fig. 72-53.
