Use the following procedure to assemble first stage
carrier (5).
a.
Apply a light coating of clean grease on planet gear
(16). Line the inside of the planet gear with 19 needle
bearings (15).
b.
Stand carrier (19) on its side. Insert bearing shaft
(18) approximately 12.7 mm (.5 in) into the carrier.
Be sure to insert the end of the bearing shaft without
a pin hole into the side of the carrier with a pin hole.
The chamfered pin hole in the bearing shaft should
face upward.
c.
Apply a light coating of clean grease on two thrust
washers (14). Place the thrust washers on the end of
the bearing shaft which has been inserted into the
carrier.
d.
Place planet gear (16) with needle bearings (15) on
the bearing shaft.
e.
Apply a light coating of clean grease on two remaining
thrust washers (14). Position the thrust washers
between the planet gear and the carrier, and slide the
bearing shaft through the thrust washers and carrier.
f.
Align the pin holes in the carrier and bearing shaft.
Install the smaller end of pin (17) into the aligned
holes until the top of the pin is approximately 2.5 mm
(.1 in) below the surface of the carrier.
g.
Repeat steps (a) through (f) for the remaining two
