f. Remove the bearing, gear collar, and gear
from the countershaft with finger pressure applied
as shown in figure 112.
g. Remove the gear collar from the gear and
place this collar on the new gear.
h. Slide the assembly (gear collar and new gear)
onto the countershaft.
i. Inspect the bearing. Note that on one side
of the bearing the inner race is flush with the out-
side race. The inner race is recessed on the other
side of the bearing. Insert the bearing onto the
countershaft with the recessed inner race side
toward the outside of the gearbox (the side upon
which the bearing cover plate is mounted). Since
the inner race rotates with the countershaft, as-
sembly in this manner will insure against the inner
race rubbing on the bearing plate when the plate
is replaced.
j. Replace the bearing cover plate.
k. Center the gear (and the gear collar) on the
countershaft so that the gear is at the hole in the
motor shaft that receives the worm.
l. Place the new worm into the motor shaft hole
and tighten it with the Allen setscrew wrench and
the spanner wrench. The worm now should be
in mesh with the gear.
m. Move the gear (and the gear collar) along
the countershaft in either direction until it is
stopped by the worm. Now move the gear in the
other direction along the countershaft until it is
