Tests for Proper Reassembly

Worm too loose.  The worm shaft should have almost no end play when the input shaft is held and the output shaft is rotated back and forth.  If there is noticeable play, shims should be added to properly preload the bearings.  Remove an end cap, place a shim on the bearing race, replace end cap and tighten.  If more shims are needed, add alternately inside open and closed end caps until bearing freeplay is minimized.  The closer you can get to zero end play without drag or noise, the better.
