F.Lightly oil bearing journals on spindle shaft. Slide housing onto spindle (item 1) taking care to not dam- age seal or spindle. Make sure that bearing in hous- ing fully seats against spindle shaft shoulder.
G.Install outer bearing cone (item 8) onto spindle.
NOTE: The planetary shim kit includes the retaining ring and several thrust washers with thickness in in- cremental steps of 0.004 in. (0.10 mm).
H.Measure thickness of thrust washer (item 9) that was removed during disassembly. Choose new thrust washer of equal thickness or the next available thickness from thrust washers in the shim kit.
I.Apply a light coating of oil to spindle shaft, thrust washer and retaining ring. Install thrust washer onto spindle shaft.
WARNING
If retaining ring (item 10) is not fully installed in spindle groove, loss of wheel and personal inju- ry may result.
J.Carefully install new retaining ring (item 10) into the spindle shaft groove taking care to not distort ring. If the proper thrust washer has been installed, the retaining ring should fit tightly between the thrust washer and spindle groove. Tap the OD of the retai- ning ring starting in the center and working out to- ward each end to ensure that the retaining ring is properly seated into the spindle groove. After correct assembly, make sure that retaining ring ID is fully seated to spindle shaft groove.
K.After retaining ring is installed, make sure that there is no endplay in assembly. If required, remove retaining ring and install a thrust washer of different thickness to adjust endplay.
L.Install new
3.Install carrier assembly (item 18) making sure that carrier gear teeth align with ring gear and spline on spindle shaft.
4.Install drive shaft (item 17) making sure that drive shaft spline aligns with carrier gears.
5.Install thrust plug (item 15) and thrust washer (item 16) into end cap (item 14). Make sure that thrust plug and thrust washer are captive on inside of end cap.
6.Install new
7.Check operation of planetary wheel drive. With a constant turning force applied, rotation of the planetary should be consistent. If there is more drag at certain points, gears are not rolling freely and the planetary should be examined for improper assembly or damaged components.
8.If planetary wheel drive assembly is installed on ma- chine:
A.Install wheel assembly.
WARNING
Failure to maintain proper wheel lug nut torque could result in failure or loss of wheel and may result in personal injury.
B.Lower machine from jack stands. Torque lug nuts from 85 to 100
C.Make sure drain plug is installed in bottom of brake assembly. Fill planetary wheel drive/brake as- sembly with SAE
