LW Output Shaft, Long:

- Place a 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing on the output shaft.

- Insert the o-ring and place a diff washer.

- Put some grease on the diff washer, but not too much.

- Now place the pulley on the 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing

- Place the 3/32" balls in the pulley.

- Place another 1/4 x 3/8" ball bearing onto the output shaft.
LW Output Shaft, Short:

- Place a 5x8 mm ball bearing in the output shaft.

- Insert the o-ring and place a diff washer.

- Assemble the thrust bearing together with some grease.

- Put some grease on the diff washer, but not too much.

- Place the thrust bearing assembly in the output shaft. One washer will fit in the output shaft

.

Now mount both output shafts together while holding the M7 nut and cone washer in place.

The diff will be damaged if overtightened!

See next page for adjusting the diff.

Step 2

Differential adjustment.
The differential should be carefully adjusted by holding the M7 nut using
a 9 mm wrench. Overtightening the M7 nut might damage the bearings,
balls and washers in the differential! To test for the correct adjustment,
hold both output shafts and try to spin the pulley. If the pulley slips without
using extreme force, it means the diff is too loose and needs to be
tightened some more by turning the M7 nut.

The differential should function smoothly.

Hold the M7 nut in
the output shaft with
a 9 mm wrench.

Differential Adjustment

The differential is an important component

of your car. So build and adjust it very carefully.

The RDX Phi (#01618) has a rear differential and front one-way.
The RDX Phi US Carpet Spec (#01619) comes with

two differentials.

Step 1

Mount the pulley

on the one-way hub

The outdrives have to spin
freely by rolling them forwards.

Now slide the outdrives in

the one-way bearings.
Make sure that they rotate
in the right direction.
