9.
Press inboard bearing isolators (333A) in each bearing
cover. Install gaskets (360) on each bearing cover.
10. Slide bearing covers (109 & 119) on the shaft. Install snap
rings (276). Install thrust washer (535) on the outboard
end.
NOTE: For ease of assembly and protection of rubber
parts while sliding rubber parts onto shaft, cover O-ring
groove, keyways, and threads with electrical tape.
NOTE: Inboard bearing cover (119) is approximately 1/4
inch less in width than the outboard bearing cover (109).
This is the only dimensional difference.
