(Cont).
WARNING
Hot oil gives off highly flammable fumes. When heating parts In oil, do not smoke
or allow open flame nearby. Make sure area Is well-ventilated. Heat parts only In
tank with lid which can be closed quickly to extinguish fire. Wear eye protection,

12. Using grease to hold them in place, install 69 roller bearings (27) in three spur gears (26).
13. Install three spur gears (26) with assembled parts and six thrust washer bearings (25) in planetary pinion carrier (32).
CAUTION
Ensure that roller bearings do not fall out of place. Roller bearings will bend when
planetary pinion shafts are installed. Install planetary pinion shafts slowly to
prevent bends to roller bearings.
14. Install three planetary pinion shafts (28) in planetary pinion carrier (32) and three spur gears (26) with assembled parts
until ends of planetary pinion shafts contact retaining ring (36).
