greater than specified.
(7) Check condition of planetary gear. Replace gear
if teeth are worn, pins are loose, or carrier is cracked,
distorted, or worn.
ASSEMBLY
(1) Lubricate planetary and ring gear bearings and
races with petroleum jelly.
(2) Identify planetary bearings and races before
installation. (Fig. 268). Bearings and races can be
identified by following dimensions:
• Outer diameter of rear bearing is 47.7 mm
(1.878 in.). Inner diameter is 35.5 mm (1.398 in.).
• Outer diameter of rear race 47.6 mm (1.874 in.).
Inner diameter is 33.7 mm (1.327 in.).
• Outer diameter of front race is 53.6 mm (2.110
in.). Inner diameter is 30.5 mm (1.201 in.).
• Outer diameter of front bearing is 47.7 mm
(1.878 in.). Inner diameter is 32.6 (1.283 in.).
• Outer diameter of forward race is 47.0 mm
(1.850 in.). Inner diameter is 26.5 mm 1.043 in.).
(3) Install rear race and bearing in gear (Fig. 269).
