a) Be sure the shoulders where the bearings seat,
are free of burrs and contaminants.
b) Mount the grease retainers into their respective
bores [51, 51A]. Prick punch the outer diameter
at two places 180 o apart to secure them to the
bearing frame, if necessary. Do not remove the
grease retainers on disassembly unless they are
to be replaced.
c) Mount the bearing cups (outer races) [16,18] into
their respective bearing housing bores (either
chill or press in to install). Be sure the cups seat
against the bearing housing shoulders.
d) Assemble the line-bearing cone [16] on the shaft
[6] (heat or press to install). See section 6.7.3 for
details.
e) Install the shaft [6] with the thoroughly grease-
packed line-bearing cone fitted, through the
housing and support the assembly vertically
(thrust end up).
f) Heat the thrust-bearing cone to approximately
95 o C (200 o F) and assemble it on the shaft
together with the bearing washer [22B], lock
washer [22A], and locknut [22]. Hand tighten the
nut.
g) Assemble the line bearing inner seal [40A], line
bearing cover [35] and outer seal [40A]. Adjust
the bearing endplay; See Bearing End Play

Loctite RC/680 or equivalent. Mating surfaces must
be thoroughly cleaned and dry prior to application of
the adhesive compound.
