6. Heat bearing cone (6) to a temperature of 275°F (135°C) and install it on pinion. 7. Install washer (7) on pinion with the tab on washer in the pinion slot (groove). 8. Install lock (9) and nut (8) on pinion with the chamfer side of nut down. Tighten nut finger tight. 9. Put two 1/4" dowels against the pinion splines 180° apart. 10. Install tooling (E) over pinion shaft and dowels. 11. Check the torque needed to turn pinion shaft (any resistance to turn shaft will be caused by the carrier housing lip type seal on the pinion shaft). Note the torque reading. Remove torque wrench. 12. Install tooling (F) on nut (8). Install the torque wrench on tooling (E). Tighten nut (8) with tooling (F) to a torque of 0.8 0.6 N m (7.0 5.0 lb in) more than the torque in Step 11.13. Remove tooling (E) and (F). 14. Bend a tab on lock (9) to hold nut (8) in position on pinion shaft. 15. Turn the carrier over and install gasket and tube assembly (10). 16. Install spacer (11) in the inner half of housing assembly (12). 17. Install nine discs (13) and eight disc assemblies on the spacer (11) starting with a disc. 18. Install seals (14) and (16) on the inside and the outside of piston (15). Install the seals so the lips will be toward the bottom of piston housing. Put 1E0371 oil on the seal surfaces and in the piston housing bore. 19. Install two dowels (17) in piston housing to a height of .145 .004 in. (3.68 0.10 mm). 20. Heat bearing cone (18) to a temperature of 275°F (135°C) and install on piston housing. 21. Turn housing assembly over and put bevel gear (19) in position on the piston housing. 22. With two persons turn the bevel gear and piston housing over and install it on the inner half of housing (12). The weight of the assembly is 79 lb. (36 kg). 23. Install bolts (20) and tighten to a torque of 320 15 lb.ft. (434 20 N m). 24. Install bearing cup (21) in cage (22).
Figure 1. Correct Method To Make New Rings Ready For Installation There is a correct method to make the new rings (23) ready for installation. Use your hands on each end of the ring to pull the ends several inches by each other.
Figure 2. The Ends Of The Ring Must Make Contact With The Inner NotchesUse care to keep the ring shape like a circle. This makes an even bend (or ring "set") all the way around the ring. When the ring is in the groove, the notches in the ends must be fully engaged with each other so the ring will not make contact with the edge of the cage bore. That is, the notches must be fully engaged and the ends must be together.
