Place a socket head screw in pull hole and strike its head - do not strike the follower end cap when
installing.
Apply a light coat of assembly grease to a new cam follower, orient so the setscrew and seat are in
line and install lightly against shoulder.
Place a drop of No. 222 grade Loctite ® on setscrew, install and tighten firmly.
