Bearings
RotoClone bearings are of the ball or roller-bearing type and are packed with

proper amounts of grease before leaving the factory. Additional grease need not
be added at the time of installation. Both a “fixed” and “floating” bearing are used.

For optimum life, the “fixed” bearing is located on the outboard position (drive
side).
