IMPORTANT: Note orientation of the internal gear before removal. It must be installed in the same orientation as it was assembled to prevent possible final drive noise.

IMPORTANT: The fretting ring (119) is in the case ring groove. Do not remove the fretting ring unless it appears damaged.

Remove the final drive internal gear (118).
