Section 16 - Mounting Adaptations - Group 16 Rear Engine Power Takeoff (REPTO) - Rebuilding (16-05) M11 Page 16-13 Position the housing on the table so the cylinder block mating surface is up. Install the output shaft assembly into the housing. The correct shaft end clearance (rolling resistance) is determined by the number and thickness of shims used between the two bearings. When the shim thickness is increased, there is more shaft end clearance and less rolling resistance. When the shim thickness is decreased, there is less shaft end clearance and more rolling resistance. Turn the housing over with engine mating surface down while holding the output shaft and gear in place. NOTE:
If the original thickness of shims is not available for reuse, a beginning thickness of 1.47 mm [0.058 inch] can be used as a starting point. Install the original thickness of shims. Use Lubriplate 105 to lubricate the smaller bearing. Install the smaller bearing onto the shaft.
