Reverse Idler Segment Installation

REVERSE IDLER SEGMENT INSTALLATION
1. Remove geartrain and housing assembly from fixture with aid of helper.
2. Apply MOPAR Gasket Maker, or equivalent, sealer to underside of idler shaft bolt heads, bolt shanks and bolt threads.
3. Align idler shaft and rear housing bolt holes with drift, pin punch, or Phillips screwdriver.
4. Work segment upward into housing and onto idler shaft.
5. Verify that idler shaft is seated in housing notch before proceeding. Segment and housing can be damaged if idler shaft is misaligned.
6. Insert idler shaft retaining bolts through housing and segment and into shaft. Long bolt goes through segment and short bolt goes through housing and directly into rear of shaft.
7. Tighten idler shaft bolts to 19 - 25 Nm (14 - 18 ft. lbs.) torque.

CAUTION: Make sure the idler shaft and support segment are properly seated and held firmly in place while tightening the shaft bolts. The segment, housing or shaft threads can be damaged if the idler shaft is allowed to shift out of position in the housing.
