Special Tools Required

- Driver Handle, 15 x 135L 07749-0010000
- Attachment, 78 x 90 mm 07GAD-SD40101
- Bearing Driver Attachment, 72 x 75 mm 07746-0010600

NOTE:

- The bearing and the bearing outer race should be replaced as a set.

1. Remove the bearing outer race (A), the 76.2 mm spacer (B), and the 76 mm thrust shim (C) from the transmission housing (D) by heating the housing to about 212 °F (100 °C) with a heat gun (E). Do not heat the housing more than 212 °F (100 °C).






2. Install the 76 mm thrust shim (A), the 76.2 mm spacer (B), and the outer race (C) in the transmission housing (D).






3. Using the driver handle and the bearing driver attachment (72 x 75 mm), drive the outer race securely in the housing so there is no clearance between the outer race, the spacer, the shim, and the housing.






4. Remove the bearing outer race (A) and the 80 mm spacer (B) from the torque converter housing (C).





5. Install the spacer and the new outer race in the torque converter housing.

6. Drive the bearing outer race securely in the housing using the driver handle and the attachment (78 x 80 mm).
