Housing Bearing

REPLACEMENT





1. To remove the mainshaft, countershaft and secondary shaft bearings from the transmission housing, expand each snap ring with snap ring pliers, then push the bearing out.

NOTE: Do not remove the snap rings unless it's necessary to clean the grooves in the housing.





2. Expand each snap ring with snap ring pliers, then insert the new bearing part-way into it, then release the pliers. Push the bearing down into the transmission until the ring snaps in place around it.

NOTE: install with groove side of the housing facing inside the transmission housing.





3. After installing the bearing, verify the following:
- The snap ring is seated in the bearing and housing grooves.
- The snap ring operates properly.
- The ring end gap is correct.
