18. Carefully lift the ring gear out of the drum. Inspect
the ring gear for abnormal wear, pitting or other
damage.
19. Remove the output planet carrier assembly from the
drum. Two (2) long ¼-20 UNC bolts inserted into the
hoes in the ends of the planet gear shafts make
handling the planet carrier much easier. Refer to
"Planet Carrier Assembly Service" section for fur-
ther information.
20. Lift the cable drum off the support end plate.
21. Turn the cable drum over and remove and discard
the oil seal. Inspect the drum bearing for abnormal
wear or damage. Replace as needed.
22. Remove the capscrews securing support end plate
to the auxiliary brake housing. Lift the end plate off
the brake housing. Refer to "Auxiliary Brake
Assembly Service" for further information.
CLEAN AND INSPECT
Thoroughly clean all parts in a good grade of non-flam-
mable safety solvent. Use the proper personal protec-
tive equipment, such as rubber gloves, safety glasses,
etc.
Thoroughly inspect all parts for excessive wear, nicks,
scratches, and other damage that would render them
unusable. If a part is questionable, replace it.
ALWAYS replace o-rings, seals and spirol pins.
At regular service intervals, inspect the roller bearings
and thrust washers within the planet carrier assemblies
to ensure that beyond any doubt, they will continue to
perform as intended when reinstalled.
Always coat o-rings, seals, bearings and bushings with
clean oil or grease during assembly.
Use a sealing compound on the outside housing of oil
seals, and a light coat thread sealing compound or seal-
ing tape on pipe fitting threads. Be careful to not get this
sealant inside parts or passages that conduct oil.
A -01 cable drum weighs approximately 315 lbs (143
kg). Use the proper precautions when handling these
parts to eliminate the possibility of component dam-
age or personal injury.
