REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR DRIVE END (DE) HOUSING AND HOUSING PARTS
1. Soak new wick in 20 weight oil for several hours to allow the oil to penetrate and install into the housing.
2. Align the cup with the wick hole, open end down, and tap it into place until it is flush with the housing. It is best to use a deep
well socket or similar devise about the same size as the outside diameter of the wick cap. Strike it with a hammer until the cup
top is flush with the casting.
3. Install the drive housing bushing. This requires using an arbor press or a special tool. The recommended special tool is like a
large pin punch which has about the same outside diameter as the armature shaft for that end with a shoulder on it about the
same outside diameter as the bushing.
4. Install the o’ring onto the mounting register groove.
5. Install the drive housing assembly, insuring the marks are aligned.
6. Install the six (6) drive housing mounting screws and torque to 17.63-29.8 Nm (156-264 lb-in)
.
7. Install the six (6) rubber sealing plugs into the drive housing’s unused holes.
NOTICE! After repair and reassembly it is necessary, before installation on the engine, to check and adjust pinion
clearance. It is recommended the solenoid replacement instruction sheet, 10500262, be obtained from our website,
