Assembly Procedure for T - BOX

Assembly can be accomplished by reversing the disassembly procedure. Figure Mnt-R-0119.
Step I.
Install spacer (4), gear (3), and bearing cones (8) onto shaft. If any shims were present between gear and
bearing or gear and spacer always reinstall at same location. Make sure that all parts are fully slated.
Step II.
Press new bearing cups into side caps (2).
Step III.
Assemble side cap (2) which was against the gear onto main housing using same shim pack as when
disassembled. If shim pack is not available use.030 inches of total shim thickness. Install capscrews and
tighten to recommended torque. Inst all three shaft assembly into housing with gear against the first side cap.
Step IV.
Assemble second side cap (2) onto main housing (7) using same shim pack as when disassembled or if not
available use.030 inch shim between cap and housing. Install capscrews (12) and tighten.
Step V.
Check bearing adjustment on rolling torque on cross shaft. If end play exists in shaft, shims must be removed
from side cap or cap opposite gear (3). Proper rolling torque should be 10 to 12 inch pounds. If preload is to
tight shims must be added under side cap opposite gear.
Step VI.
Input Hub Assembly
Press bearing cups into hub making sure they are fully seated. Press bearing cone onto shaft properly seated
against shaft shou lder. Assem ble shaft into hub (12), add second be aring cone and gear. Apply a thin coat of
Liquid Lock (suc h as Locktite #270) to the sh aft threads. Asse mble adjusting nut and tig hten to insure that all
parts are seated. Then loosen the adjusting nut until a rolling torque of 10 to 12 inch pounds is reached. Insert
cotter pin through shaft and adjusting nut. Bend cotter pin ends around radial surface of nut. Do Not Bend
Cotter Over End of Shaft.
Step VII.
Assemble input hub into main housing using same shim pack as when disassembled. If not available use.020
inch shim to start. Install capscrews and tighten to recommended torque.
