CAUTION:
Do not use a screwdriver to install the retaining ring or damage to the case may occur. Use only snap ring pliers to install the retaining ring.
CAUTION:
If the case is stamped "WG", install a wide-groove snap ring, or the servo will be damaged.
NOTE:
The WG stamp is located on the case toward the passenger side of the overdrive servo. The letters WG are etched into the case and hard to see.
NOTE:
If the servo cover will not seat deep enough in the bore to install the servo cover retaining ring, use a blunt punch or small hammer and gently tap the cover around the outer edge until the servo cover retaining ring can be installed.
