It is assumed that the wheels have been removed, the oil
drained from the transaxle, and that the transaxle has been
removed from the vehicle. If these things have not been done,
do so before continuing with this section. Refer to the Repair
and Service Manual of the specific vehicle for information and
safety considerations when removing the transaxle.
Press-fit shaft bearings should be cleaned and inspected; and
replaced only if they appear to be damaged or excessively
worn. Replace bearings that are pitted, nicked, burred, discol
-
ored, or that rotate roughly or noisily.
Keep work area clean and well organized
while performing the operations described
in this manual. This will help prevent acci-
dents and reduce the possibility of mistakes
that could damage or impair the perfor-
mance of the transaxle.
Because some mating parts with wear surfaces were
machined together when the transaxle was manufac
-
tured, or have established wear patterns during
operation, the reassembly of parts in their original
positions and orientations, with their original mating
parts, is critical to the performance and life expec
-
tancy of the transaxle. Mark and sort all parts as they
are disassembled so that they will be reassembled
and installed in their original positions.
