the shaft end of the pump.
1. A press must be used for disassembly and installation of
the inner ball bearing.
2. Take care not to damage the spline end of the shaft. If you
must press on the spline end, use a spacer to protect the
spline end.
3. Make sure the inner race of the bearing is properly
supported.
