cute wee gem Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm reassembling a R154 at the mo after putting in a marlin crawler thrust washer and have a question about the output shaft bearing clearance. Basically as per the photo it goes: output bearing -> spacer -> 5th gear -> center bearing -> 1st gear Now I pressed the 5th, center bearing and 1st gear on at the same time, then slipped the spacer on and pressed the output bearing on. Which cause the spacer to be locked tight, I'm 90% sure it spun on the shaft before I pulled it to bits, so i pulled it all off and pressed it all on again, using a .1mm feeler gauge between the spacer and the output bearing, so now it spins. I can't seem to find any form of spec on this clearance or if it even needs to be to a spec? It has a table for axial play, but I'm a bit confused tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Can't see why the spacer should spin? the axial play refers to the snap ring. basically need to put the thickest snap ring in possible, to stop the bearings/ gears sliding on the shaft, maybe the original snap ring was to thin, thats why the spacer was spinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 That makes sense. It spun when i pulled it down so assumed it was meant to haha. Cheers man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
