Usage:
1. Install bevel gear and shaft in the steering clutch case.
2. Install the shims (2) that were removed at disassembly.
3. Install enough shims (3) so there is a small amount of end play in bevel gear shaft (5). Tighten all of the bolts (1) and (4) before checking the end play of bevel gear shaft (5).
4. Measure the end play of bevel gear shaft and remove bolts (4) and enough shims (3) so there is no end play for the bevel gear shaft.
5. Remove an additional .003 in. (.08 mm) of shims (3) to get the correct amount of preload for bearings (6) and (7). Install all of the bolts (4).
6. Tighten bolts (1) and (4) in bearing cages to 105 ± 10 lb. ft. (15.2 ± 1.4 mkg). A torque of 2.88 to 4.13 lb. ft. (0.4 to 0.6 mkg) is needed to turn the shaft (5) after the correct preload is set.
Adjustment of End Play for Pinion Shaft:
To get the correct amount of end play for pinion shaft (1), add or remove shims (2).
End play for shaft ... 0 to .002 in.(0.0 to 0.05 mm)
