1. Make sure that all parts of the final drive are thoroughly clean and free of dirt and debris
prior to assembly. Check the condition of all O-ring seals that are used in the final drive. If
any of the seals are damaged, use new parts for replacement. Reassemble the final drive on
Tooling (A) .
2. Apply Tooling (H) to the surfaces inside the sprocket housing that will make contact with
the two bearing cups. Install a bearing cup that is in each side of the sprocket housing with a
press. Make sure that the bearing cups are properly seated.
3. Apply Tooling (H) to the surfaces inside the motor housing that will make contact with
bearing cones (46) .
4. Install inner bearing cone (46) on the motor housing.
5. Attach Tooling (F) and a suitable lifting device to sprocket housing (37) , as shown. Install

6. Adjust the bearing preload of the final drive. Determine the correct number of shims (42)
that are required for the proper bearing preload, as follows:
a. Use a depth micrometer in order to measure the step height of coupling gear (40) at
several locations around the gear. Find the average for the measured dimensions
around the gear and record the dimension. Call this dimension (X) .
b. Apply a load of 10000 kg (22000 lb) to bearing cones (46) .
c. Rotate sprocket housing (37) several times in order to seat the bearing cones.
d. Reduce the load to 3500 ± 350 kg (7700 ± 770 lb).
4/21
2020/9/10

e. While the load is still on the bearing cones, measure the distance between the top face
of the motor housing and the top face of bearing cone (46) . Take measurements in
several locations around the motor housing. Find the average of the measured
dimensions, and record the dimensions. Call this dimension (Y) .
f. Determine the correct thickness of shims (42) which are used between bearing cone
(46) and coupling gear (40) . Use the following equation in order to determine the
shim pack thickness.
Shim pack thickness ... (X) − (Y) ± 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
Note: If two shims (42) are required, install the thinnest shim next to coupling gear
(40) during final assembly.

Reinstall the six locating pins in the motor housing.
11. Apply Tooling (J) in the seal groove of the motor housing. Install rope seal (44) in the motor
housing. Make sure that the seal is not twisted.
Note: The 138-0961 Rope Seal (44) has been removed for the following machines: 345B
(2NW123-UP) and 345B L (4SS952-UP9GS239-UP).

12. Make sure that inner bearing cone (46) is seated properly on the motor housing.
Note: Do not scratch the Duo-Cone seal kit or damage the Duo-Cone seal kit in the main
housing, or the motor housing during assembly of the two components. After installation of
the main housing on the motor housing, there will be a small gap between the components.
The gap between the components is caused by the Duo-Cone seal kit. This will be
eliminated during the installation of coupling gear (40) .
Carefully install the sprocket housing on the motor housing.
14. Install outer bearing cone (46) on the sprocket housing. Make sure that the outer bearing
cone is properly seated.
15. Install shims (42) that were determined in Steps 6.a through 6.f on the end of the sprocket
housing, as shown. If two shims were required, make sure that the thinnest shim is installed
on top.
8/21

16. Put coupling gear (40) in the original position on the motor housing.
17. Apply Tooling (K) on the threads of bolts (39) that hold coupling gear (40) in position.
Tighten bolts (39) evenly and tighten bolts (39) in diagonally opposite pairs. Tighten bolts
(39) to a torque of 900 ± 100 N·m (664 ± 74 lb ft).
18. Install O-ring seal (38) in sprocket housing (37) .
9/21

20. Apply a bead of Tooling (L) on the mating surface of ring gear (36) .
21. Attach Tooling (E) and a suitable lifting device to ring gear (36) . Position ring gear (36) on
the sprocket housing. Make sure that the alignment mark on the sprocket housing and ring
gear (36) line up with each other.

that the spring pin hole in the planetary shaft is in alignment with the spring pin hole
in the carrier.
g. Install spring pin (31) in the carrier and into the planetary shaft. Install the spring pin
until the spring pin is even with the outside surface of the carrier. Orient the split in
the spring pin horizontally to the carrier. Align the split in the spring pin to the left or
to the right. Refer to Illustration 19.
h. Make a stake mark on each side of the spring pin hole in the carrier. This will prevent
the spring pin from falling out of the spring pin hole. Each stake mark should be
approximately 1.5 to 3.00 mm (0.59 to 0.118 inch) from the spring pin hole.
i. Repeat Steps 22.a through 22.h for the remaining planetary gears.
