9) Apply lubricant to the shaft in the two areas where the helical gears will be

installed. Position the stock gear in the case and pass the front output shaft

through the case into the bore of the gear. Place the case in a vertical press

and press the tapered roller bearing #86649 onto the shaft (under the gear

in the photo). The bearing should stop as it contacts the shoulder on the

shaft (Fig.10). During the press procedure, support the bearing properly so

not to damage the cage around the rollers. Verify the helical gear can turn

freely after the press operation is completed.
