Inspect the splines on the hub and shaft and the teeth on the sprocket. Minornicks and scratches can be smoothed
with an oilstone, however, replace any part that is damaged.
Check the contact surfaces in the sprocket bore and on the mainshaft. Minornicks and scratches can be smoothed
with 320-400 grit emery cloth but do not try to salvage the shaft if nicks or wear is severe.

INPUT GEAR AND PLANETARY CARRIER
Check the teeth on the gear (6). Minor nicks can be dressed off with an oilstone but replace the gear if any teeth
are broken, cracked, or chipped. The bearing surface on the gear can be smoothed with 300-400 grit emery cloth
if necessary.
Examine the carrier body and pinion gears for wear or damage. Check the pinion gear thrust washers on the pinon
pins for damage. The carrier will have to be replaced as an assembly if the body, pinion pins, or pinion gears are
damaged.
Check the lock ring and both thrust washers for wear or cracks. Replace themif necessary. Also replace the lock
retaining ring if bent, distorted, or broken.
