14. Install new planetary snap-ring in groove at end of intermediate shaft (Fig. 224).
15. Turn planetary geartrain over. Position wood block under front end of intermediate shaft and support geartrain on shaft. Be sure all geartrain parts
have moved forward against planetary snap-ring. This is important for accurate end play check.
16. Check planetary geartrain end play with feeler gauge (Fig. 225). Insert gauge between rear annulus gear and shoulder on intermediate shaft as
shown. End play should be 0.15 to 1.22 mm (0.006 to 0.048 inch).
17. If end play is incorrect, install thinner/thicker planetary snap-ring as needed.
