NOTE: Use all the grease in the package.

Always grease the splines joint between the transmission and the bevel gear. Greasing is carried out to avoid corrosion between the terminal sleeve and the bevel gear tubular shaft.

Check that the terminal sleeve on the transmission is free of damage and corrosion. Otherwise the sleeve must be replaced with a new one.

Use grease, P/N 1161748. Thoroughly lubricate the splines in the terminal sleeve.
