NOTE
The use of an oven and freezer will aid in the
assembly of the power divider housing. The
oven temperature should be approximately 250°
F (121° C) and the freezer -80° F (-62° C).

NOTE
A hydraulic press is required for assembly.

NOTE
Thoroughly clean all mounting surfaces of dirt,
grease or gasket material prior to assembly.
1. Mark the idler assembly parts (bearings, races,
spindle and gear) so that they are assembled in
a matched set. Mark one set as 1 and the

The idler gear assembly is factory assembled as
a matched set. Keep the bearings, gear, spacer,
and shims together for each of the idler gear
assemblies.
Figure 14.
3. Press the bearing races into the idler gear using
a hydraulic press. See Figure 15.
NOTE
The purpose of the following procedure is to
determine the correct amount of shims
required to meet the end play specification.
Once determined, the idler shaft assembly will
be disassembled so the shaft can be installed
into the center section.
