intermediate shaft will be completely exposed when components are assembled correctly.
14. Install new planetary snap-ring in groove at end of intermediate shaft (Fig. 235).
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.
