(12) Install front annulus gear over and onto front
planetary gear (Fig. 209). Be sure gears are fully
meshed and seated.
(13) Install front planetary and annulus gear
assembly (Fig. 210). Hold gears together and slide
them onto shaft. Be sure planetary pinions are
seated on sun gear and that planetary carrier is
seated on intermediate shaft.
(14) Place geartrain in upright position. Rotate
gears to be sure all components are seated and prop-
erly assembled. Snap-ring groove at forward end of
intermediate shaft will be completely exposed when
components are assembled correctly.
(15) Install new planetary snap-ring in groove at
end of intermediate shaft (Fig. 211).
(16) Turn planetary geartrain over. Position wood
block under front end of intermediate shaft and sup-
port geartrain on shaft. Be sure all geartrain parts
have moved forward against planetary snap-ring.
This is important for accurate end play check.
