IMPORTANT: Be careful when inserting the propeller shaft assembly into the gear
housing as the needle bearings in the reverse gear bearing adaptor can become
dislodged. If it is suspected that a needle has become dislodged, remove the pro-
peller shaft assembly and inspect the needle bearing cages for damage. If the
cages have not been damaged and a needle bearing is mispositioned, it can be
snapped back into place.
