Pinion Gear - Anti-Kick Out Shoe, Garter Spring Replacement

If the garter spring is damaged, the overrun clutch may fail to return properly. Use either of the following methods to remove and
install a new garter spring:
1. Screw the overrun clutch out to the engaged position on the pinion shaft assembly. Use a small piece of wire with the end bent
in a hook and pick the old spring out of its channel. Slide it off the end of the shaft. Slide the new spring over the overrun
clutch and into the spring groove. Make sure that the spring is positioned between the shoe alignment pins and the back flange
of the anti kick-out shoes.
2. Remove the retaining ring, thrust washer, spring retainers and clutch return spring. Screw the overrun clutch off the end of the
pinion shaft. Remove the old spring and install a new one. Lightly grease the pinion shaft and reinstall the clutch, spring,
retainers, end washer and lock ring in the reverse order. Make sure the end washer is positioned properly so that it will hold
the lock ring in its groove.
