1. Inspect seal surface of spindle. Remove any debris
that may be present.
2. Apply a coating of grease to the lip seal of the hub
sub-assembly.
3. Place Spindle Sub-Assembly on table with carrier
side up.
4. Carefully install the hub sub-assembly (seal side
down) onto the spindle. This installation should be a
slip fit and takes place in 3 stages.
a. Stage 1: The hub slides together until the gear
teeth of the hub hit the gear teeth of the 3 output
planets.
b. Stage 2: Find the planet gear that is tight and
turn it until you feel it go into mesh with the hub
gear teeth, apply slight downward pressure to
the hub and then find the next gear that is tight
and do the same.
c. Stage 3: Once all the planet gears are in mesh
apply pressure to the hub, it should go on the
rest of the way.
5. Install retaining ring into the groove on the outside
diameter of the spindle carrier. This is a spiral retain-
ing ring so it will not require pliers. You will need to
pull the retaining ring apart and work it into the
groove.
6. Using an appropriate pressing tool, press the Input
Ring gear (recessed side down) into the hub sub-
assembly.
NOTE: Do not use excessive pressing force because it will
be reacted by the main wheel bearings.
7. Install the input carrier sub-assembly into mesh. The
output sun portion of the sub-assembly will mesh
with the output planet gears and the planet gears
mounted on the sub assembly will mesh with the
input ring gear.
