In cases where both the pinion and gear teeth of the main reduction gear have been slightly indented by foreign material, what action should you take?
Replace both the pinion and gear.
Both the pinion and gear should be relieved of all raised metal around the indentation.
Remove the foreign material that caused the indentation and return the unit to service.
Closely monitor the damage to see if it spreads.
