FRONT HOUSING AND INPUT SHAFT BEARING
RETAINER
(1) Install reverse blocker, retainter and retainer
bolt in front housing.
(2) If previously removed, input shaft bearing in
front housing (Fig. 113). Install snap ring and use
plastic mallet to seat bearing. Bearing goes in from
front side of housing only.
(3) Apply liberal quantity of petroleum jelly to
countershaft front bearing. Then insert bearing in
front housing race (Fig. 113). Large diameter side of
bearing cage goes toward countershaft (Fig. 114).
Small diameter side goes toward bearing race in
housing.
(4) Reach into countershaft front bearing with fin-
ger, and push each bearing roller outward against
race. Then apply extra petroleum jelly to hold rollers
in place. This avoids having rollers becoming dis-
placed during housing installation.
(5) Apply small amount of petroleum jelly to shift
shaft bushing in front housing.
