Figure A-18. Pry Motor Gear From Case
Figure A-19. Remove Motor Gear Retaining Ring
Figure A-20. Inspect Reduction Shaft Assembly
26. Gently pry the motor gear assembly from the case
using a tool with a wide blade to avoid distorting the
bearing bore below.
27. To service either the motor gear or bearing, remove
the retaining ring and press apart.
28. Inspect bearings and gears on the reduction shaft
assembly. The backlash of the spiral bevel gear and
motor gear is controlled by shim washers between
the cover side ball bearing and the bore in the cover.
If any of the drive components on these two shafts
are changed, the backlash should be checked and
adjusted if necessary.
