CAUTION:
Use caution when removing transaxle housing. Differential assembly may attach to transaxle housing during removal.
CAUTION:
In the following step, do not compress piston return spring more than .079" (2.00 mm) past snap ring groove. This prevents piston from becoming deformed. DO NOT expand snap ring excessively.
