from the pinion bearing.
Washer must be snapped into recess of pinion

IMPORTANT:
The inside taper of the pinion
gear and the driveshaft taper MUST be com-
pletely free of grease. Clean the tapers with
Cleaning Solvent . Use a shop towel free of grease
and lint.

driveshaft into the gearcase and through the pin-
