  1. Install the drill jig and the 6mm bolts.
  1. Secure the 7/16” guide into the jig using the 3/8” allen screw.
  1. NOTICE: Cutting oil must be used for lubrication. The use of substitutes, particularly ATF, may result in an over-sized bore. NOTICE: When reaming the servo bore do not push too hard on the reamer or exceed 500 RPM or an over-sized bore can occur. Ream out the bore using ample cutting oil and the 7/16” reamer.
  1. Secure the 1/2” guide into the jig using the 3/8” allen screw.

  1. Apply Loctite® 680 or equivalent to the outside bushing.
  1. NOTE: Make sure the 1/2” reamer fits smoothly through the hole before installing the bushing.

    Align the hole drilled in the side of the bushing with the v shaped notch cast into the case.

  1. Using the driver, drive the bushing in until the bushing chamfer is flush with the transaxle case.
  1. NOTE: Check the pin finish for burs and coarseness.

    Insert the sizing pin into the bore, chamfer side first. Using a punch, drive the pin all the way through the bushing. Repeat as necessary.
