Installation considerations

  • Inspect the mating races and thrust washers
  • Check driveshaft and pinion end float
  • Replace contaminated gear lubricant
  • Pressure- and vacuum-test the gearcase
  • Establish the correct shim and preload settings
  • Do not reuse a bearing that has been exposed to water-contaminated lubricant
