  1. Using snap ring pliers, expand the mainshaft rear bearing retaining ring (101) as far as possible to allow the mainshaft rear bearing to pass through the retaining ring.
  2. Using the 78 mm side of the DT 46427  (2), push the mainshaft rear bearing out of the mainshaft rear bearing retaining ring (101). See Special Tools .

    It is not necessary to remove the mainshaft rear bearing retaining ring (101) unless the groove in the transmission case needs cleaning or the retaining ring is damaged.

  3. Inspect the bearing for excessive wear or damage. Replace as needed.
