Change 3
(3)
Measure thickness of thrust washers. Thickness must be no less than 0.091 in. (2.31 mm)
NOTE
Bearing surface measurement will be used in
paragraph 7-16 to find output shaft bushing
clearance.
(4)
Measure and note diameter of bearing
surface (1) of main shaft (2).
(5)
Measure diameter of front carrier bearing
surface (3).
(6)
Measure inside diameter of bushing (4).
(7)
If bushing (4) to front carrier bearing
surface (3) clearance is greater than
0.0072 in. (0.15 mm), replace bushing.
(8)
Measure diameter of bearing surfaces (2
and 5) on main shaft.
19)
Measure inside diameter of bushings (6 and 7) in sun gear shaft (8).
(10)
If clearance between bushings (6 and 7) and bearing surfaces (2 and 5) is more than 0.0064 in.
(0.16 mm), remove bushings.
