With pinion gear removed, install reduction gear onto
pinion shaft. Place pinion shaft into center bracket
and secure with washer and snap ring. Measure the
end play with a feeler gauge between center bracket
and gear. If necessary, adjust end play by adding or
removing adjusting washers.
If pinion gear has not been removed, place pinion
shaft and reduction gear between front bracket and
center bracket. With lever spring removed and bolt
tightened, push pinion shaft out and measure end
play. Adjust end play if necessary by adding or
removing shims.
