SERVICE MANUAL Assemble Power Divider Intermediate Case 1. Assemble   idler   shaft   bearings,   bearing   races   and bearing spacer to idler gear.  On models RA-351 and 355,  position  the  bearing  spacers  correctly  to  index oil  groove  in  rear  spacer  with  oil  passage  in  idler shaft (see Fig. 44). 2. Position  idler  shaft  in  intermediate  case  so  flats  on rear of shaft will index with flats in differential carrier. 3. Support  front  face  of  intermediate  case  and  press idler shaft into position. 4. Install idler shaft end nut and washer.  Tighten nut to specified  torque,  Use  flats  on  end  of  shaft  to  hold shaft from turning while tightening nut. 5. Using  a  dial  indicator,  check  end  play  of  idler  gear. End   play   should   be   within   specified   limits.      (See "Specifications. ") 6. If end play is not within specified limits, remove idler shaft and idler gear and change the bearing spacer. End   play   can   be   reduced   by   installing   a   thinner spacer  or  increased  by  installing  a  thicker  spacer. Determine   spacer   thickness   with   micrometer   and make new selection accordingly. Fig. 44.  Cross Section Of Idler Shaft Installation 1 Lubricant Passage 2 Idler Gear 3 Spacer - End play controlled by thickness of this spacer 4 Thin spacer must be installed in this location 5 Idler Shaft While .000 end play for idler shaft is permissible, it is important   that   bearings   not   be   loaded   with   side thrust.  Therefore, end play between specified limits is desired. 7. Assemble and install input gear. RA-341: a. Press bearing on input gear. b. Install bearing retaining nut.  Clamp gear in vise and  tighten  retainer  nut  using  SE-2247  wrench (Fig.   45).      Tighten   to   specified   torque.      Use punch to stake nut to gear end. c. Check  input  gear  bearing  end  play  with  a  dial indicator     ,025-.076     mm     (.001-.003").          Use bearing   spacers   as   required   to   obtain   correct end play. d. When end play is correct and retainer nut is final torqued, stake retainer nut at milled slot in input gear. e. Position gear and bearing assembly in intermediate  case.    Support  rear  face  of  case and press bearing into case bearing bore.  Press bearing to rear sufficiently to install bearing snap ring. f. Install  snap  ring  on  bearing  and  press  bearing and   gear   forward   until   snap   ring   seats   firmly against shoulder of case. RA-351 and 355: a. Using  bearing  spacer  previously  removed  for  a trial assembly, install bearings and cage on input gear and clamp assembly in vise. b. Install  bearing  retaining  nut  and,  using  SE-2247 bearing  nut  wrench,  tighten  to  specified  torque (Fig. 45).  Use punch to stake nut to gear end. c. Install  input  gear  bearings  and  bearing  retainer into intermediate case.  Secure cage with six hex bolts. (See "Torque Chart") . Assemble Output Shaft 1. Support output shaft bearing and  press  output  shaft into bearing. 2. Tap    bearing    case    of    retainer    over    bearing    and secure with snap ring. 3. Install seal in bearing case. 4. Install flange and end nut. CTS-4044 PRINTED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Page 24
