3.Insert output bearings (6 & 7) in the housing, using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press.

4.Slide output shaft (4) through both bearings (6 & 7) until it rests against bearing (6).

5.Slide shim (15) over output shaft (4).

6.Press gear (5) onto output shaft (4) and secure with washer (20), castle nut (16), and cotter pin

(11).

7.Apply grease to lower seal lips (21) and press seal

(21)over output shaft (4), using a tube of the correct diameter. Be sure not to damage the seal lip.

Press in housing so that seal is recessed. Insert protective washer (19) by hand. Install snap ring

(10) and position it together with dual lip seal (21) by pressing it into position. Verify that snap ring is seated correctly.

8.Press bearing (8) into the housing, using a round tube of the correct diameter and a hand press. Secure with shim (15) and snap ring (12).

9.Secure snap ring (13) on input shaft (3) if not already secure.

10.Place gear (1) through top of housing and align gear (1) and gear (5) so that gear teeth are a match.
