Fit the spacer washe·r and press on the roller bearing
nearest the pinion gear until it butts against its stop,
using tool 8390148 (see illustration).

7.

Set up the shaft in a press (see illustration). Press
the bearing housing slowly on, using tool 8390148,
and twist it at the same time until resistance to
twisting is felt.
Smear Loctite "stud lock" on the threads and put
on the nut. Install fixture 8790636 with holder
ring 8790651 in a vice. Place the bearing housing
on the fixture. Pull the nut with key 8790453 until
the correct torque is obtained.
Measure the torque by pulling the bearing housing
with the aid of a dynamometer. See fig. The bearings should be lightly oiled and tightened as follows:

New bearings 47-71 N (10-15 lb., 4.7-7.0 kp) on
the dynamometer which corresponds to a torque
of 2.5 ± 0.5 Nm (2 ± 0.5 ft.lb., 25 ± 5 kpcm). Old
bearings that have done more than 1,200 miles
(2,000 km) 19-43 N (4.2-9.2 lb., 1.9-4.3 kp)
dynamometer reading which corresponds to a torque of 1.3 ± 0.5 Nm ( 1 ± 0.5 ft.lb., 13 ± 5 kpcm).
When the correct value is obtained, upset the flange
of the nut with a drift.

PRIMARY GEAR CASE, 4-SPEED GEARBOX
Removal

To remove the primary gear case, follow the instructions
for dismantling of the gearbox. Accordingly, the differential assembly and the intermediate shaft assembly
must be removed before the primary gear case can be
dismantled.

Fit two locating pins, tool 8790438, in the gearbox
housing. Then fit on the shims and mount the pinion shaft with. bearing housing. Knock the bearing
housing carefully into place using a plastic mallet
or hammer together with drift 8390114 and sleeve
8390148. Then tighten the four screws.

OPENING THE PRIMARY GEAR HOUSING

NOTE
Any measuring or adjusting of the pinion shaft must
be done before the screws are secured with Loctite.
See section 473.

NOTE
Remember to undo the clutch adjustment nut.

Having removed whichever part needs attention, clean
the mating flange surfaces of the cover to remove gasket
fragments and traces of sealant compound. Inspect all
disassembled parts and wash them in kerosene or similar.
Then reassemble as follows:
1. Fit the needle bearing with tool 8790479 and
drift 8390189, and the oil collector into the
primary gear housing if they have been removed.

The needle bearing has been discontinued with effect from 1976 model cars.

NOTE
The needle bearing in the primary gear housina has
been discontinued in cars as from model 1976.
It is no longer necessary to install the bearing in ,conjunction with the overhaul of transmissions of earlier
design.
When the gears in the primary gear assembly in transmissions of earlier design are to be replaced, the
needle bearing must be removed, since the bearing
surface on the shaft has not been machined.
