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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
