Setting shaft endfloats

3:1 Using a suitable tool install the input shaft oil seal.

3:3 Using a suitable tool install the bearing cups into the front and rear casing. DO NOT install shims at this stage.

3:5 Reinstall each of the gear shafts into the rear casing. Ensure the threaded holes (arrowed) are uppermost. 3:2 Using a suitable tool install the output shaft oil seal to the rear casing. Repeat for the front casing.

3:4 Drive out and discard the shimming plugs from each shaft on the rear casing.

3:6 Remove any sealant from the casing halves . Fit the front casing and tighten the bolts equally to the correct torque.

3:7 Install a suitable Bolt to each of the threaded holes in the end of the gear shafts.

3:9 Using a suitable bar and pivot block apply pressure to the bolt and record the amount of movement (endfloat) for each shaft.

3:11 Remove the shaft assemblies and bearing cups from the rear case. 3:8 Install a Dial test indicator to measure the endfloat in each shaft. Set the indicator to zero.

3:10 Remove the front casing.

3:12 Calculate the required shim size to give the correct endfloat for each shaft and install shims behind each bearing cup.
