Secure the drive wheel unit on a suitable fixture.

Warm the slotted nut to release the Loctite.

WARNING

The hot slotted nut can cause burns.

Wear suitable protective gloves.

 

Loosen the slotted nut using a slotted nut spanner and torque multiplier.

– Remove the slotted nut.

– Support the drive wheel unit in order to press the wheel shaft out downwards.

– Press out the wheel shaft.

– Drill a hole in the shaft seal, cut the thread and then pull it out using ejector rod WM109.

 

Assembling the planetary transmission

– Coat the inside of the new shaft seal between the sealing lip and the dust lip with lithium soap grease. Fill the space to a maximum of 50%.

NOTE

The grease must not be added to the spring chamber.
