Check the driven pulley shaft bearing for wear or damage, and replace it if necessary.
Expand the snap ring using snap ring pliers, and install the bearing part-way into the transmission housing.
Release the pliers, then push the bearing down into the transmission housing until the snap ring snaps in place around it.
After installing the bearing, check that the snap ring is seated in the bearing and the housing groove, and that the ring end gap (A) is 0-9 mm (0-0.35 in).
