identify the source of a part. Here are what the different colors mean:
STYLE A - indicates parts that are included in the bag marked for the section.
STYLE B - indicates parts that are included in the box.
STYLE C - indicates parts that are already assembled from previous steps.

TECH TIPS
TO CLOSE A WIDE GAP
TO OPEN A NARROW GAP
If there is too much or too little diff side play, this may create non-optimal gear mesh between the diff gear and the pinion drive gear. This
is easily resolved by inserting 1 or 2 of the included thin shims behind a diff outdrive ball-bearing, depending on how much play there is.
FRONT & REAR DIFF GEAR MESH ADJUSTMENT
THE LOCATION OF THE SHIM(S) DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU ARE TRYING TO CLOSE OR OPEN THE GAP:
TIP
To CLOSE a wide gap:
add 1 or 2 shims
against diff spur gear
To OPEN a narrow gap:
add 1 or 2 shims on the
other side of the diff, away
from spur gear

DRIVE SHAFT PIN SERVICING
TIP
To enjoy the longest possible lifespan of the drive shafts and diff outdrives, it is extremely important to properly service the drive shaft pins.
Inspect the pins after every 3 hours of runtime. If the pins show any wear, replace them with new pins.
For easy drive pin replacements use #106000
HUDY Drive Pin Replacement Tool.
To replace the worn pins use only
premium HUDY drive pins #106050.
Do not use drive shafts
when the pins are worn.
Press out the worn pins.
Press in new pins and
regularly inspect for wear.
CHECK GEAR MESH AND DIFF PLAY ONLY AFTER THE ENTIRE GEARBOX IS MOUNTED TOGETHER WITH THE SUSPENSION HOLDERS ON THE CHASSIS.
ALL PARTS ARE DESIGNED TO HAVE CERTAIN PLAY AND IT IS ALL DESIGNED BY PURPOSE.
