6. Move the case to the edge of the bench so that the intermediate shaft can be pushed up through the
case. Pushing the shaft up from below allows you to look into the bore to check alignment of the
sleeve and shims as the intermediate shaft passes through them. It is easy to use a punch or
screwdriver to move the shims and/or sleeve as needed to line up with the shaft as it is pushed up
through the gear.
7. When the intermediate shaft is as far in as possible (by hand), turn the case upright and use a dead
blow hammer to knock the intermediate shaft in the rest of the way.
8. Do not seal the cover plate with RTV until the final end play setting is achieved. The cover should
be torqued to 15-25 ft-lb.
9. Install the washer and intermediate shaft nut and torque to 90-130 ft-lbs.. Measure the end play in
the intermediate gear with a dial indicator. Remove the nut/washer and drive out the intermediate
shaft.
