4. Fit the output shaft assembly to the final drive
Lubricate the 'O' ring & seat the shaft assembly
Secure the assembly with the circlip
5. Ensure the correct circlip location
Using a prybar, or similar, expand the circlip into its undercut by applying outward radial pressure.
Start diametrically opposite to the circlip open ends & lever against the rive flange
6. Verify the circlip location
The gap MUST be greater than 10.0 mm
CAUTION: If the gap CANNOT be achieved, contact Jaguar Service
A gap smaller than specified will indicate an improperly fitted circlip. This may be rectified by refitting or by the application of radial pressure
around the inner circumference of the circlip
7. Verify that the output shaft end-float is within specification
