Pressing tapered roller bearing outer race out from clutch housing





- Remove mounting sleeve for flange shaft seal first.

Pressing outer race/tapered roller bearing into clutch housing





No shim will be installed on the side of the clutch housing.

Pulling off inner races/tapered roller bearing





- Before installing puller, set thrust piece (40 - 105) onto differential housing.

Both tapered roller bearing inner races are pulled off from the differential housing in the same way.

Pressing on inner races/tapered roller bearing





Tapered roller bearing inner race for transmission housing and clutch housing are pressed on using the same special tools.

Pulling outer race/tapered roller bearing out of transmission housing





A Support, e.g. (Kukko 22/2)
B Internal puller 46 to 58 mm, e.g. (Kukko 21/7)

Pressing outer race/tapered roller bearing into transmission housing





- Install shim under outer race.

- Support transmission housing directly beneath bearing mount using press support (3144).

Differentiating the spring pins









Differential housing allocation





- Check spring pin hole in the differential housing.

The hole in the differential housing was modified due to the longer spring pin.





Spring pin with surrounding groove (short spring pin): removing and installing





Removing

- Cover taper roller bearing inner race and speedometer drive gear to avoid possible damage and ingress of metal particles.

- Drive out spring pin with chisel, inserting chisel into circumferential groove.

Installing

- Drive into differential housing up to the stop.

Removing spring pin without surrounding groove (long spring pin): Press out differential bevel gear axle.





Spring pin is sheared off when pressing out.

- Drive remaining part of roller pin out of differential housing.

Spring pin without surrounding groove (long spring pin), installing





- Align the hole in the differential bevel gear axle to the hole in the differential housing.

- Drive a new spring pin in to dimension - a - = 3.0 mm using a drift - 1 -.

The spring pin must not come in contact with the transmission when the differential housing is installed.

On some transmissions the thrust washer union was made with a ridge - A - in the area of the holes.





In conjunction with this, the differential housing had a circumferential groove - B -.

- Insert thrust washer union with transmission fluid.

- Install thrust washer union so that it engages into the groove - B - of the differential housing.

Differential bevel gears and differential bevel gear axle, installing





- Insert thrust washer union with transmission fluid.

- Insert both large differential bevel gears and secure (e.g. with flange shaft).

- Insert small differential planetary gears 180° offset and pivot them into position.

- Press in differential bevel gear axle - arrow A - up to first small differential bevel gear.

- Insert threaded pieces - arrows B - in large differential bevel gears

Installation position: Shoulder faces toward differential bevel gear

- Drive differential planetary gear axle into final position and secure with spring pin.

The collar - arrow - faces toward the spring - B -.

Some transmissions are equipped with ridges - A -.
