REASSEMBLY
Reassembly is in the reverse order of disassembly.

NOTICE: When working with FIPG material, you must observe the following items.
^ Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
^ Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
^ Clean both sealing surfaces with a non-residue solvent.
^ Apply FIPG in an approximately 1 mm (0.04 inch) wide bead along the sealing surface.
^ Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application. Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reapplied.

HINT:
^ Before reassembly, select a shim by adjusting output shaft preload.
^ Coat all of the sliding and rotating surfaces with gear oil before reassembly.
