Reply To: Worm drive axle Reassembly

Ok, here is the complicated part. Freeze the worm gear with the front bearing and the 43312 cone. Heat the 2, 43131 bearings to 250 degrees.

Quickly, drop the worm gear in the front of the case opening, it should drop in with little force. Take the bearings out of the heat source and place on the shaft of the worm gear at the other end. Bearings go on back to back. You will have to drive them on (put case and shaft vertical and drive the bearings on from the top. Next, install the other frozen race at the rear of the case. Install the “D”” washer and castle nut.”
