  2. Install sub gear to 1st driven gear.
  3. Install 1st driven gear, 1st baulk ring, gear and hub assembly onto driven shaft.
    NOTE:
    • Take care to install gear and hub assembly in proper direction.
    • Align baulk ring and gear & hub assembly with key groove.
  4. Install 2nd driven gear bushing onto driven shaft using ST1, ST2 and press.
    CAUTION:
    • Attach a cloth to the end of driven shaft to prevent damage.
    • Do not apply pressure in excess of 10 kN (1 ton, 1.1 US ton, 1.0 Imp ton).
    NOTE: When press fitting, align oil holes of shaft and bush.
