119. Locate an oil drip container for potential overflow when motor adapters are removed.
Comply with work area cleanliness statement mentioned earlier.

STEP 120

120. Remove lock tongue washer (item 31) and install the special lock ring (57512436)
and retain with angles (57788788), screws and lock washers as shown.

STEP 122

122. Attach 2 eyebolts (57788747) to the cover of the rotary housing and to the chain
hoist; screw 2 square head threaded bolts (57788077) as shown with an air socket.
Drive the cover off while lifting with the hoist and tapping the top of the intermediate
assembly and the input pinion to retain their position. Locate the jack under the
spindle for support.

Pulling the Main Gear from the Spindle

STEP 123

123. Wearing work gloves for protection, remove the input pinion assemblies, connect the
chain to the hoist and around the input pinion assembly for removal. Be careful when
removing the assemblies for both were slightly press-fit during installation. Gently
tap with a rawhide hammer, if required. Do not distort the cavity in the rotary
housing. Dip the assembly in an oil bath for cleaning, wrap with a cloth after removal
from the oil bath to prevent oil dripping on the floor of the work area.

STEP 124

124. Wearing work gloves, cut and remove the lock wire (item 127) retaining the end
plate. Remove one screw and replace with one eyebolt and shackle (57788770 &
57788861) into one of the intermediate pinions tapped holes. Connect a chain through
the shackle for removal. Use intermediate shaft tool 57192577 for positioning and
lifting with the chain and hoist, for removal of the intermediate assemblies. Be careful
when removing the assemblies for both were slightly press-fit during installation.
Gently tap with a rawhide hammer, if required. Do not distort the cavity in the rotary
housing.

STEP 125

125. Remove retaining collar (item 176), shims (items 175 and177) and clean the main
gear of dirt, metal shaving and any contaminates.

STEP 126
126. Position special plate w/holes (57791725) on top of the spindle for hole alignment
and insert 4 special thread rods (57791733), screw connect to the main gear and lower
the jack supporting the spindle to relieve bearing compressive loading.

STEP 127

127. Position bar handle (57788754) on top of the spindle and align the porta-power air
cylinder (57791741) between the bar handle (57788754) and the plate (57791725).

STEP 128

128. Review all connections and alignment of the cylinder, plates and bars to assure proper
assembly, then tighten the 4 lock nuts to secure the plate to the threaded rods
(57791733).

STEP 129

129. With a torch, heat the main gear (for approximately 30 seconds in small circular
motion) in 4 locations, 90 degrees apart for gear expansion near the spindle.

STEP 130

130. While heating the 4th location, slowly engaging the cylinder to pull the main gear
(item 10). The red ring indicates fully stroked cylinder, do not extend further. Loosen
the 4 lock nuts to remove the plate, threaded rods, cylinder and related components.

STEP 131

131. Screw 2 eyebolts (57788739) into the main gear tapped holes, connect shackle
(57788861) to chain and hoist to remove from the spindle.

Removing the Spindle

STEP 132
132. To remove the custom key (item 11) from the spindle slot, screw 95935235 into the
tapped hole. Remove the magnetic sending unit, if applicable from the side of the
rotary housing.

STEP 133

133. Remove the eyebolts from the rotary stand pillow blocks (do not remove the screws)
and be careful when rotating the rotary head 180 degrees. Clean the inside of the
rotary housing of all metal chips and contaminates.

STEP 134

134. Use impact wrench to remove screws and lock washers (item 170-173) retaining the
lower seal housing (item 2). Connect the chain to the hoist and insert the chain-hook
end through the spindle with bearing. Attach lock ring (57788705) to the hook and
pull the spindle through the housing, bearing cup remaining.

STEP 135

135. Remove the eyebolts from the rotary stand pillow blocks (do not remove the screws)
and be careful when rotating the rotary head 180 degrees. Use a small steel hammer
and bronze drift (57788101) to remove the bearing cup and silicone from the ridge of
the housing.
