CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected on the drive gear or drive pinion, replace the drive gear and drive pinion as
a set.
Bearings
Check for seizure, peeling, wear, corrosion, sticking/abnormal noise/roughness in hand turning, and other
damage.
CAUTION:
When replacing the bearing, always replace the inner race and outer race as a pair.
