the same time the cluster gear and brake shaft
assembly may be removed. See Figure

12. Remove the large pinion and reduction gear as-
sembly, (and the thrust washer
if used) and the
reverse

NOTE: Prior to 1973 models the pinion reduction
gear and thrust washer was welded together and
was serviced as one part.
Starting with the
1973 models the pinion, reduc-
tion gear and thrust washer are serviced sepa-
rately.
The thrust washer goes on the stub shaft
next to the
big gear.
The pinion may be pressed in and out of the
gear with a suitable arbor press.
