Ok, I need some assistance from you D20 experts out there. I pulled my D20 out and was in the process of replacing seals (no gear removal), since everything, including gear lash, seemed really tight. I went to put everything back together and when I installed the rear output housing (which all I had done is pull the yoke and replaced the shaft seal), it had an awful lot of play in it.
I pulled it back off, since I knew something wasn't right, and with output housing removed, I'm able to to move the output shaft in/out, making for a considerable amount of play. Bear in mind, I don't have the yoke installed. But can someone confirm if there should be play in housing with it removed? In other words, what keeps the output shaft from moving in/out in the output housing?
I can't imagine what has changed since I pulled it apart, as it seemed to be quite tight before. And maybe this is completely normal and I'm just being overly cautious. I just don't remember this amount of play when I took it apart...
Thanks for your help, guys!
