I'll snap some tomorrow when I get back to the shop. Been in the haul truck today. I did manage to get the old bear-lock nut off the pinion and clean that up to prepare to install the new one. This is the later model rotary so it's got 47 ring gear bolts as opposed to the one I showed awhile back that had 24. They've been known to shear all 24! A Watson might be simple but it'll darn sure drill some holes and is really effective in rock.
Tomorrow's duties, assuming nobody else did them, will be to wash up the drive lug cover and main case cover, check ring gear bolt torque, get the pinion preload set and lock it down the the bear-lock. There are three big seals that need replaced and two require the big bottom bearing race to be removed. It's really easy to fubar those big seals installing them as well as assembling the rotary.
It's a wonder I get anything back together correctly as often as I'm pulled out of the shop to move a rig. It's almost burnt me out again lol. At the rate I'm going I'll have 2 million miles in a few years.
