Input Carrier and Sun Gear Installation

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE





1. Inspect the captive thrust bearing assembly. To check the captive thrust bearing in the carrier for wear, place a bushing or an output shaft sleeve onto the bearing race and turn it with the palm of your hand. Do not touch the pinion gears. Any imperfections will be felt through the bushing.

3. Place the output shaft into the input carrier retainer.
- Do not over expand the ring during the installation.
- Do not reuse the old retainer ring if it has been over expanded.





4. Remove the output shaft support fixture.





5. Inspect the input sun gear for any of the following conditions:
- Damage
- Wear
- Cracks
- Damaged splice or gear teeth





6. Install the input sun gear into the input carrier.
7. Rotate the sun gear teeth into the pinion gear teeth.
