Pinion Gear - Anti-Kick Out Shoe, Garter
Spring Replacement
If the garter spring is damaged, the overrun clutch may fail
to return properly. Use either of the following methods to
remove and install a new garter spring:
1. Screw the overrun clutch out to the engaged position
on the pinion shaft assembly. Use a small piece of
wire with the end bent in a hook and pick the old
spring out of its channel. Slide it off the end of the
shaft. Slide the new spring over the overrun clutch
and into the spring groove. Make sure that the spring
is positioned between the shoe alignment pins and
the back flange of the anti kick-out shoes.
2. Remove the retaining ring, thrust washer, spring
retainers and clutch return spring. Screw the overrun
clutch off the end of the pinion shaft. Remove the old
spring and install a new one. Lightly grease the pinion
shaft and reinstall the clutch, spring, retainers, end
washer and lock ring in the reverse order. Make sure
the end washer is positioned properly so that it will
hold the lock ring in its groove.
