5 - REPAIR PROCEDURES
CAUTION: All repair procedures must be done by authorized dealerships. It is not
recommended that untrained individuals perform any repair work. The following
operations are detailed for qualified personnel only.
5.01 - Gearbox
To remove the gearbox from the side-shift frame proceed as follows:
1. Remove the rear bolt holding the gearbox to the side-shift frame.
2. Slide the side-shift frame over until the gearbox is off the hexagonal shaft.
3. Unbolt the bolts holding the front plate to the side-shift frame.
4. Whenever the bearings are removed from the gearbox, all oil seals should be
replaced to assure no leaks when the box is reassembled.
5. To avoid damage to components, bearings should always be removed with bearing
pullers and pressed in when being replaced.
6. When reassembling the gearbox, ensure that there is precise mesh between ring
and pinion gears.
5.02 - Chain Case
To remove the chain do the following:
1. Unbolt chain case cover.
2. Remove the chain case cover taking care not to damage the gasket.
3. Release the automatic chain tensioner spring.
4. Remove the two snap rings holding the chain sprockets.
5. Slip off both chain sprockets at the same time.
To replace the chain follow the procedure in reverse order, ensuring the gasket is not
damaged. If damaged it must be changed.
5.03 - Rotor
Removing the rotor is a simple operation. The complete rotor consists of a center rotor
made of heavy piping with blade flanges welded to it in a scrolled pattern and two side
support flanges (one right and one left). The center rotor is attached to the two side
support flanges with special bolts. To remove the center rotor, simply remove these
bolts and slip the center rotor out from the two support flanges.
