1. Make sure that all parts of the final drive are thoroughly clean and free of dirt and debris
prior to assembly. Check the condition of all O-ring seals that are used in the final drive. If

any of the seals are damaged, use new parts for replacement. Reassemble the final drive on
Tooling (A) .
2. Apply Tooling (H) to the surfaces inside sprocket housing (35) that makes contact with the
bearing cups. Install a bearing cup that is in each side of the sprocket housing with a press.
Make sure that the bearing cups are properly seated.
3. Apply Tooling (H) to the surfaces inside the motor housing that makes contact with bearing
cones (42) .
4. Install inner bearing cone (42) on the motor housing.
5. Apply Tooling (F) and a suitable lifting device to sprocket housing (35) , as shown. The
weight of sprocket housing (35) is approximately 127 kg (280 lb). Install sprocket housing
(35) on the motor housing. Carefully install outer bearing cone (42) on the sprocket housing.

6. Adjust the bearing preload of the final drive. Determine the correct number of shims (40)
that are required for the proper bearing preload, as follows:
a. Use a depth micrometer in order to measure the step height of coupling gear (38) at
several locations around the gear. Find the average for the measured dimensions
around the gear and record the dimension. Call this Dimension (X) .
b. Apply a load of 10000 kg (22000 lb)to bearing cones (42) .
c. Rotate sprocket housing (35) several times in order to seat the bearing cones.
d. Reduce the load to 3500 ± 350 kg (7700 ± 770 lb).

e. While the load is still on the bearing cones, measure the distance between the top face
of the motor housing and the top face of bearing cone (42) . Take measurements in
several locations around the motor housing. Find the average of the measured
dimensions, and record the dimensions. Call this Dimension (Y) .
f. Determine the correct thickness of shims (40) which are used between bearing cone
(42) and coupling gear (38) . Use the following equation in order to determine the
shim pack thickness.
Shim pack thickness ... (X) − (Y) ± 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
Note: If shims (40) are required, install the thinnest shim next to coupling gear (38)
during final assembly.

7. Apply Tooling (F) and a suitable lifting device to sprocket housing (35) , as shown.
Separate sprocket housing (35) from the motor housing.
ReferenceRefer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Duo-Cone Conventional Seals - Install".
Note: The rubber seals and all surfaces that makes contact with the seals must be clean and
dry. After installation of the seals, put clean SAE 30 oil on the contact surfaces of the metal
seals.

8. Install Duo-Cone seal kit (43) in the sprocket housing with Tooling (G) .

9. Install Duo-Cone seal kit (41) in the motor housing with Tooling (G) .
10. ApplyTooling (H) in the bores for the locating pins that are in the motor housing. Reinstall
the locating pins in the motor housing.
11. Make sure that inner bearing cone (42) is seated properly on the motor housing.
Note: Do not scratch Duo-Cone seal gp (41) or damage the Duo-Cone seal gp in the main
housing, or the motor housing during assembly of the two components. After installation of
the main housing on the motor housing, there will be a small gap between the components.
The gap between the components is caused by the Duo-Cone seal kit. This will be
eliminated during the installation of the coupling gear.
12. Attach Tooling (F) and a suitable lifting device to sprocket housing (35) , as shown.
Carefully install the sprocket housing on the motor housing.
13. Install outer bearing cone (42) on the sprocket housing. Make sure that the outer bearing
cone is properly seated.
14. Install shims (40) that were determined in Steps 6.a through 6.f on the end of the sprocket
housing, as shown. If shims were required, make sure that the thinnest shim is installed on
top.

15. Put coupling gear (38) in the original position on the motor housing.
16. Apply Tooling (J) on the threads of bolts (37) that hold coupling gear (38) in position.
Tighten bolts (37) evenly and tighten the bolts in diagonally opposite pairs.
17. Install O-ring seal (36) in sprocket housing (35) .
18. Thoroughly clean the mating surface of sprocket housing (35) that will make contact with
ring gear (34) .
19. Apply a bead of Tooling (K) on the mating surface of ring gear (34) .
20. Attach Tooling (E) and a suitable lifting device to ring gear (34) . Put ring gear (34) in
position on the sprocket housing. The weight of ring gear (34) is approximately 82 kg (180
lb). Make sure that the alignment mark up on the sprocket housing and the ring gear line
with each other.

21. Assemble carrier assembly (28) , as follows:
Note: If planetary gear (32) is stamped with an "N", make sure that the planetary gear
identification grooves are facing in the correct direction, which was noted during the
disassembly of the carrier assembly (28) .
a. Assemble carrier assembly (28) .
b. Put clean SAE 30 oil on bearings (33) .
c. Install bearings (33) in planetary gear (32) .
d. Install a thrust washer (31) on each side of the planetary gear.
e. Install the planetary gear and thrust washers in carrier (28) .
f. Install planetary shaft (30) in carrier (28) and through planetary gear (32) . Make sure
that the spring pin hole in the planetary shaft is in alignment with the spring pin hole
in the carrier.
g. Install spring pin (29) in the carrier and into the planetary shaft. Install the spring pin
until the spring pin is even with the outside surface of the carrier. Orient the split in
the spring pin horizontally to the carrier. Align the split in the spring pin to the left or
to the right. Refer to Illustration 19.
h. Make a stake mark on each side of the spring pin hole in the carrier. This will prevent
the spring pin from falling out of the spring pin hole. Each stake mark should be
approximately 1.5 to 3.00 mm (.59 to .118 inch) from the spring pin hole.
i. Repeat Steps 21.a through 21.h in order to install the remaining three planetary gears
in carrier (30) .
22. Attach Tooling (E) and a suitable lifting device to carrier assembly (28) . The weight of
carrier assembly (28) is approximately 64 kg (140 lb). Put carrier assembly (28) in position
