Snorkel Gear Backlash Procedure

1. Reassemble the snorkel tube and snorkel shaft

assembly by reversing the disassembly procedure

(see “Snorkel Shaft Removal / Disassembly”).

2. After the 13T gear and bearing are pressed onto the

snorkel shaft (flush to the shoulder), install the

washer and new retaining ring.

3. Press the gear back towards the retaining ring. Avoid

excessive force so the retaining ring is not damaged

or pre-stressed significantly.

NOTE: Failure to press the gear back against the

washer and retaining ring will lead to a gear

backlash change after vehicle is placed into

service.

4. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease or Anti-

Seize on the threads of the snorkel tube.

5. Install the snorkel shaft into the gearcase. Using the

Snorkel Tool (PA-50231), tighten the snorkel tube

until it is lightly seated in the transmission housing.

6. Inspect the pinion shaft assembly. Replace bearings

if needed. Inspect each gear for damage, chips or

abnormally worn teeth.

NOTE: If pinion shaft was disassembled, the

bearing cover must be installed on the shaft

before installing the 46T gear.

7. Install the pinion shaft assembly. Be sure to properly

mesh the snorkel shaft bevel gear with the pinion

shaft bevel gear.

8. Apply Loctite® 242™ to the threads of the bearing

cover retaining screws.
