- Install NEW seal rings to output shaft and bearing retainer. Measure clearance between seal ring and ring grooves of output shaft and bearing retainer. Specified clearance is .004-.010" (.10-.25 mm). Service limit is .010" (.25 mm). If clearance is not as specified, replace output shaft or bearing retainer as necessary.
