Removal
REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove the propeller shaft.
3. Verify that the transmission is in PARK in order to prepare for the removal of the output shaft nut.
4. Remove the nut, with a 30 mm 12 point socket, holding the propeller shaft flange to the output shaft and remove the flange.
5. Remove the transmission rear oil seal with a suitable slide hammer and screw.
6. Remove the transmission output shaft washer. Be sure to tag the washer since it is very similar to the geartrain end-play shim and they must not be interchanged.
7. Remove the transmission rear output shaft bearing retaining ring (1).
8. Position Bearing Remover 9082 (1) over the inner race of the output shaft bearing.
9. Slide the collar (3) on the Bearing Remover 9082 (1) downward over the fingers (3) of the tool.
CAUTION: Verify that the geartrain end-play shim has remained on the output shaft and against the park gear. The shim may be adhered to the bearing inner race. Retrieve the shim from the bearing and install over the output shaft and against the park gear.
10. Remove the output shaft bearing (3).
