Hey All. I'm installing new bearings/seals in my 231 & have a question.
I installed a new main shaft input bearing (front) w/ a Koyo 6010-NR bearing. Install was simple - tapped it in until the snap ring touched the front of the case. Spun fine.
Then, I put the input gear inside the planetary w/ the thrust washers & slid it in the case. The first part of the input shaft went through the bearing fine, but then I had to tap it w/ a rubber mallet to get it seated the entire way.
I've done a few rebuilds/sye installs over the years and never ran into this. Usually they (the planetary/input gear combo) just slide in and out for me. It was pre-lubed. Thoughts on this? Anything to worry about or not? In the NP231 service manual, it says to press the input gear/planetary w/ an arbor press. So, that made me feel a little better. Just haven't seen it before.
