Use care not to damage axle shaft seal or bellows. Install Plug (999 5488) to seal hole. Clean metal glue off hub axle shaft splines.
13) Use lifting hook and lower engine and gearbox until about
5″ (130 mm) of hook thread is clear. DO NOT lower engine too much, as exhaust pipe may press on steering gear. Ensure no wiring or hoses are pinched or stretched, and that dipstick clears fan.
14) Install Universal Tool (999 5972) and Gearbox Fixture
(999 5463) to jack. Attach gearbox fixture to gearbox using bolts from steady-bar bracket. At same time, position Support Plate (5463-2) on fixture. Raise engine. Remove remaining bolts securing gearbox to engine. Pull gearbox straight out from engine without any breaks in clutch plate center.
Installation
1) Ensure mating flanges on gearbox and engine are clean and engine locating sleeves are in place. Install gearbox to engine using jack and gearbox fixture. Ensure gearbox lines up straight with engine without any breaks in clutch plate center. Install 7 engine-to-gearbox bolts and tighten in rotation to 37 ft. lbs. (50 N.m). Remove gearbox fixture and jack from gearbox.
2) Raise Lifting Hook (999 5460) to level previously recorded in step 5) under REMOVAL. Ensure no cables, wiring, or hoses are pinched or trapped. Install 3 rear engine mount-to-gearbox bolts. Tighten 2 rear bolts to 37 ft. lbs. (50 N.m). Remove front bolt.
Engage cover with engine mount and tighten bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (50 N. m).
