3.8 Reinstalling the Bearing Caps
IMPORTANT:
The Air Locker master shim must be assembled between the
stepped side of the seal housing and the bearing cup.
NOT HAVING THE MASTER SHIM IN PLACE
HERE WILL CAUSE BEARING FAILURE.
c Using a soft instrument such as a piece of wood, bend the seal
housing tube outward and away from the position of the bearing
cap in order to insure adequate clearance. (Fig.15.)
Figure 15.
c Install the bearing caps oriented as they were marked before they
were removed, and tighten the bearing cap bolts. It is not
necessary to torque them down at this time.
c Check that some clearance exists between the bearing cap and the
seal housing tube. If not, the bearing cap should be removed and
the tube re-bent for adequate clearance.
c Tighten all bearing cap bolts with a torque wrench to the torque
specified in your vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
