Input Shaft Reassembly

Reference: INPUT SHAFT DISASSEMBLY 

Reference: INPUT SHAFT INSPECTION 

NOTE:
  • Before installation, wash each part and apply specified gear oil to sliding faces of bearing and gear.
  • Use new snap rings on shaft for installation. Don't reuse snap rings.
  1. Clean all components thoroughly, inspect them for any abnormality and replace with new ones as necessary.
  2. To ensure lubrication, air blow oil holes (1) and make sure that they are free from any obstruction.

  4. Apply oil to high speed gear needle bearing (5), and then install needle bearing, 4th gear (5) and high speed synchronizer ring (7) to input shaft.
  5. Assemble synchronizer sleeve (4) and hub (3) as follows.
    1. Fit high speed synchronizer sleeve to hub in specified direction as shown in figure.
    2. Insert 3 keys (2) to hub.
    3. Set springs (1) at specified position as shown in figure.

  6. Drive in high speed synchronizer assembly (1) using special tool and hammer.
    NOTE:
    • While press-fitting sleeve & hub, make sure that synchronizer ring key slots (2) are aligned with keys in sleeve & hub assembly.
    • Check free rotation of 4th gear after press fitting sleeve & hub assembly.

  11. Tighten input shaft 5th hub nut to specified torque in the same manner as step  4) of Input Shaft Disassembly  .
    CAUTION: Do not hold spline, gear teeth or abrasive surface of shaft with vise through "V" blocks or the like, otherwise shaft components may be damaged.

    Tightening torque 

    Input shaft 5th hub nut: 210 N.m (21.0 kg-m, 152.0 lb-ft) 

  12. Caulk input shaft 5th hub nut (2) using caulking tool.
  13. Drive in new input shaft union (1) using puller and hydraulic press.
