Reassembly
1. Coat the edges of the oil seals with a gasket
sealant.
2. Using a suitable tool, install the seals in the
end caps. Fill the space between the seal lips
with grease. Install the assembled end cap
(seal and bearing race installed) on the oil
level plug end of jackshaft housing.
3. Place the oil sling retainer on the shaft. If the
bearings were removed from the shaft, place
the oil sling retainer on the shaft while
installing the bearings. If the bearings were
not removed from the shaft, press the oil sling
retainer onto the shaft through the opening in
the top of the oil sling retainer.
4. Use a tie band or a hose clamp as tool to
compress the oil sling retainer enough to fit
inside the jackshaft housing.
5. Install the shaft into the jackshaft housing
with oil sling retainer on the shaft with
bearing. Align the opening in the oil sling
retainer with the air vent opening in the top of
the jackshaft housing.
6. Use a punch and hammer to tap the oil sling
retainer into the jackshaft housing until it is
centered beneath the air vent opening and past
the housing lip that holds the outer race.
7. Remove the tie band or hose clamp.
8. Install the remaining end cap.
9. Torque the bolts to 10 ft-lb (13.6 N•m).
10. Check end play of the shaft with a dial
indicator. End play should be between 0.001
to 0.005 in. 0(.025 to 0.127 mm). Change
shims if necessary.
11. Pour 3.5 oz (104 ml) of fanshaft oil P/N
203-278 into the jackshaft housing.
