- Slide the idler gear (A) over the secondary shaft (B) in the direction shown.
- Place the idler gear (A) on press bases (B), and place a spacer (C) between the secondary shaft (D) and the press to prevent damaging the secondary shaft.
- Install the idler gear using a press.
- Install the 49 x 66 x 3 mm thrust needle bearing (A), the 45 x 50 x 25 mm needle bearing (B), 5th gear (C), the 49 x 66 x 3 mm thrust needle bearing (D), and the 5th gear collar (E) on the secondary shaft (F).

- Measure the clearance between the 2nd gear collar (A) and the ball bearing (B) with a feeler gauge (C) in at least three places. Use the average as the actual clearance.
Standard: 0.05-0.12 mm (0.002-0.004 in)
- If the clearance is out of the standard, remove the 2nd gear collar and measure its height.
- Select and install a new 2nd gear collar, then recheck the clearance.
