Install planetary gear assembly.

(a)

Remove dirt, grease, or moisture from the mating surfaces of the planetary spider (1) flange

and wheel hub (2) mounting face.

(b)

Dry both surfaces.

WARNING

Adequate ventilation must be provided when silicone RTV-732 clear sealing compound is

applied in confined areas. Failure to do so could cause respiratory irritation, headaches

and nausea. Eye contact with silicone RTV-732 clear sealing compound may cause

irritation; if eye contact takes place, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and have eyes

examined by a doctor.

(c)

Apply a continuous bead of silicone RTV-732 clear sealing compound approximately 1/8 in.

(3.175 mm) in diameter completely around the hub mounting face and around the inner edge

of all fastener holes to assure complete sealing and prevent leakage.

NOTE

Assemble components immediately to permit silicone RTV-732 clear sealing compound to

spread evenly. Failure to do so could cause axle to leak.

(d)

Start planetary spider (1) onto wheel hub (2), aligning teeth of planetary gears (8) with sun

gear (9) and ring gear (10) teeth.
