of center case.
To remove range shift fork (21),
rockshaft housing and differential
assembly must be removed as outlined in
paragraph 91. Remove set screw (29)
and retainer pin (26), then pull rail (20)
rearward and withdraw shift fork.
To reassemble shift assemblies,
reverse the disassembly procedure. To
reinstall shift housing, position shift
forks and sliding gears in neutral posi-
tion. Carefully install shift housing mak-
ing sure each fork correctly meshes with
its respective slot in sliding gear.
Tighten housing mounting cap screws,
then move all shift forks to be sure they
