can be located on flat on shaft.

8. Apply Loctite 290 to threads of retaining plate

bolt.

9. Fit bolt and tighten to 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft).

10. Fit a new intermediate shaft nut.
11. Tighten intermediate shaft nut in small stages

until all end-float is just removed from
intermediate gears.

CAUTION: Check end-float of intermediate
gears between each stage, do not
continue tightening nut after end-float is

removed. Do not stake nut at this stage.

3. Insert tool LRT-41-005 in end of mainshaft.
4. Using a suitable torque meter on tool

LRT-41-005, check and record torque to turn
mainshaft input gears.

5. Tighten the intermediate shaft nut in small

stages checking the torque to turn the gears
until the mainshaft input gear torque to turn
figure recorded in operation 4 has increased by
