REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Disassemble:
- Remove all bearing locknuts using spanner wrench.
- Remove driveshaft. Due to cavity between the two bearing support areas, care should be taken to maintain alignment while removing.

Reassemble:
- Thoroughly clean all internal bearing locknut threads in housing.
- Insert driven shaft.
- Insert driveshaft. Note: Bottom front bearing on shoulder.
- Thoroughly clean all bearing locknut threads.
- Assemble bearing locknut on drive leg using Loctite screw lock #242 or equivalent. Note: Excessive sealant in threads may migrate to and cause bearings to seize. Snug bearing locknuts – DO NOT force. Excessive force will preload bearings and reduce life expectancy.
