Drive-End Frame Assembly Procedure

If disassembled, position the driveshaft on a work surface with the internal gear end down. Assemble the driveshaft and clutch group in the following way:

IMPORTANT: If the center support bearing is being replaced, install it on the driveshaft.

Drive Shaft And Clutch Group:

1. Install the driveshaft support to the driveshaft, seating the bearing in the support.
2. Install the clutch drive assembly to the driveshaft.

Pinion Stop Support Block:

3. Install the new pinion stop onto the driveshaft.
- Slide the pinion stop onto the driveshaft until recess for the stop rings faces up.
- Install the stop rings into the groove in the driveshaft.
- Pick the assembly up and support it under the pinion stop. A metal block, with a U-shaped cutout that will slide over the shaft between the pinion gear and stop, can be clamped in a vise to provide support.
- Make sure the stop rings are fully seated in the pinion stop recess. Stake the upper edge of the pinion stop over the stop ring at four equally spaced places. Do not allow the staked metal to contact the driveshaft.
