Attachment, 72 x 75 mm 07746 - 0010600
- Secondary Shaft Bearing:
Attachment, 78 x 90 mm 07GAD - SD40101

2. Install the bearings in the direction shown.
3. Expand each snap ring with the snap ring pliers, and insert the bearing part-way into the housing.





4. Release the pliers, then push the bearing down into the housing until the snap ring snaps in place around it.





5. After installing the bearings verify the following:
- The snap rings are seated in the bearing and housing grooves.
- The ring end gaps are correct.

PARKING BRAKE STOP

Make sure the ATF pump drive gear rotates smoothly in the normal operating direction, and the ATF pump driven gear shaft moves smoothly in the axial and normal operating direction.
3. If the ATF pump drive gear and ATF pump driven gear shaft do not move smoothly, loosen the main valve body bolts. Realign the ATF pump driven gear shaft, and retighten the bolts to the specified torque, then recheck. Failure to align the ATF pump driven gear shaft correctly will result in a seized ATF pump drive gear or ATF pump driven gear shaft.
