AssemblyTips
1. The same axle is used for both front and rear drive
versions. There are two holes in the axle about one
inch apart. Front wheel drive transmissions use the
hole in the axle that is about 5 3/4” (14.6cm) from
the end or closest to the center of the axle (Fig.
052).
Slip the gear on such that the teeth and longest hub
face the longer end of the axle. Drive the pin into
place. A double check is that neither of the pin holes
should be visible when the gear is installed.
2. Install the trust washer on the side of the gear with
the shorter hub, away from the gear teeth (Fig. 053).
