Bearing to Female Outdrive:
Step A-7
q
1. Press a 5mm x 8mm Bearing (117) into the center area of the
Female Plastic Outdrive/Diff Half (20) as indicated. The edge of the
Bearing should be flush with the front of the Outdrive.
q
2. Apply a small amount of Clear Diff Grease (172) to the outer
ring of the Outdrive. Install the second Drive Ring (108), again align-
ing the "D" shape of the Outdrive and the Drive Ring.
Female
Step A-8
Outdrive Assembly:
q
1. Place the foam Thrust Bearing Seal (186) over the shoulder of
the Diff Adjusting Screw (91).
q
2. Place one of the 3mm x 8mm Thrust Bearing Washers (149)
over the Diff Screw.
q
3. Using the MIP RED Grease (157), apply a fairly heavy coat of
Grease to the Thrust Washer and position the eight 5/64" Thrust
Balls (95) in a circular pattern around the Diff Screw. Apply another
coat of RED MIP Grease over the Thrust Balls and place the second
Thrust Bearing Washer over the Diff Screw and up against the Thrust
Balls.
q
4. Insert the Diff Screw into the Female Outdrive (20). Pull the
threaded end of the Diff Screw until the Thrust assembly rests against
the inside of the Outdrive.
Male to Female Outdrive Assembly:
Step A-9
q
1. Carefully replace the Allen Wrench (125) from the Male Outdrive
(19) with a pen or pencil, and place it in the slot of the Female Outdrive
(20) containing the Diff Screw (91). The pen will be used to hold the
Diff Nut (27) assembly in the bottom side.
q
2. Apply a good amount of Clear Diff Grease (172) (enouth to
cover the Balls completely) to the exposed side of the Balls in the Diff
Pulley (42) on the Male Outdrive.
q
3. While holding the Female Outdrive with Allen Wrench inserted,
carefully assemble it to the Male Outdrive.
q
4. Make sure that the slot in the Diff Screw is lined up with the
slot in the Female Half and then while holding the Male Half slowly
turn the Female Outdrive until the threads of the Diff Screw engage
on the threads of the Diff Nut. Remove the pencil from the Male Half
and thread the two Outdrives together until the Screw just starts to
snug up.
q
5. Tighten the Diff until the Pulley (42) cannot be turned while
both of the Outdrives are being held firmly. Final Diff adjustment
should be made after completion of the XXX-4 G+.
When tightening the Diff, tighten the Screw a little and then
"work" the Diff a little. Then tighten the Screw a little more and
"work" the Diff again. Continue this until the Diff Gear doesn't slip
while holding the Outdrives. This ensures that the parts in the Diff
are properly seated. Refer to Tech Tips for final adjustment. "Work-
ing" the Diff is done by rotating the Outdrives in opposite direc-
tions.
