2.
Install ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) on flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9) as follows:
a.
Place flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9), crankshaft side up, on a solid flat surface.
WARNING
Hot metal components dissipate heat quickly. Wear heat-resistant gloves when
handling heated parts. If you receive burns, immerse burn in cold water and seek
medical aid. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.
CAUTION
If a torch is used to heat ring gear, keep torch moving around circumference of gear to
avoid hot spots. Do not heat over 400°F (204°C) under any circumstances. Excessive
heat may destroy original heat treatment. Apply heat-indicating compound to work
surface, which melts at a predetermined temperature, to determine heat range.
b.
Place ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) on a metal surface and heat uniformly. Heat source can be a blow
torch, acetylene torch, or oven.
c.
After ring gear is heated, place it in position on flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9).
NOTE
If ring gear cannot be tapped into place readily, repeat Steps 1–2.c. above.
d.
Tap ring gear (Figure 3, Item 8) into place against shoulder of flywheel (Figure 3, Item 9) using a brass
drift and hammer. Work around circumference of flywheel to avoid binding.
