DISASSEMBLY OF TRANSPORT
(FREE-WHEELING) ASSEMBLY
LOWER CASE HALF
The transport actuating bracket and pin are located in the
lower case half. Inspect the case on the outside for oil
leakage around the pin, then check the bracket and pin
for signs of wear. If everything is in good condition, set
the lower case aside until final assembly. See Figure 4.12.
If any sign of oil leakage is visible on the outside of the
lower case half, the transport assembly must be removed
from the case and the 0-ring on the pin replaced. See
Figure 4.13.
After removal, check the actuating bracket, pin and C-
ring for wear or damage. Replace components as re¬
quired.
