13. Install planetary thrust bearing on sun gear. Slide bearing onto gear and seat it against spring plate as shown. Bearing fits one way only. If it does
not seat squarely against spring plate, remove and reposition bearing.
14. Install assembled sun gear, spring plate and thrust bearing. Be sure sun gear and thrust bearing are fully seated before proceeding.
15. Mount assembled output shaft, annulus gear, and clutch drum in shop press. Direct clutch spring, hub and clutch pack are easier to install with
assembly mounted in press.
16. Align splines in hubs of planetary gear and overrunning clutch with Alignment tool 6227-2, or equivalent. Insert tool through sun gear and into
splines of both hubs. Be sure alignment tool is fully seated before proceeding.
