1. Remove the bearing outer race, the thrust shim, and the 79.5 mm shim from the transmission housing. Replace the thrust shim and the 79.5 mm
shim if they were damaged when the bearing outer race was driven out.
2. First try the same size 79.5 mm shim that was removed.
3. Install the thrust shim and only one 79.5 mm shim in the transmission housing, then drive in the bearing outer race.
Note these items during reassembly:
-
Install the bearing outer race squarely.
-
Check that there is no clearance between the bearing outer race, shims and transmission housing.
4. With the mainshaft and countershaft removed, install the differential assembly. Assemble the clutch housing and transmission housing without a
sealing agent, and torque the case bolts.
