BEARING REPLACEMENT

 

CB9A-030    page 23/28

 

NOTICE: When replacing the bearings, the entire 
bearing assembly, including the bearing cup and 
the bearing cone, must be replaced.

 

 

1.  Follow the steps in the "Compressor Disassembly" 

section. 

2.  Remove the Oil Pump per the section titled "Oil 

Pump Replacement." 

3. Remove 

the 

flywheel. 

4.  Remove the bearing carrier and gasket from the 

outboard end of the crankcase.  The outboard 
bearing cup will come off with the bearing carrier 
and will need to be removed with a bearing removal 
tool. 

5.  Remove the key from the crankshaft and slide the 

crankshaft through the outboard end of the 
crankcase.  The bearing cones can then be 
removed with a bearing puller. 

6.  Remove the bearing cover plate from the inboard 

end of the crankcase.  The inboard bearing cup is 
pressed into the crankcase and can be removed 
with the use of a bearing removal tool. 

 

Figure 21 - Bearing Locations

 

7.  To install the bearings: 

a.  Grease the outer edges of the bearing cups.  

b. Referring to Figure 21 for the proper 

orientation, carefully press the inboard bearing 
cup into the crankcase until it is flush with the 
outer surface of the crankcase. 

c.  Note the proper orientation and carefully press 

the outboard bearing cup into the bearing 
carrier assembly. 

d.  Press a bearing cone onto each end of the 

crankshaft with the tapered end outward.  The 
bearing race should rest against the shoulder 
on the crankshaft. 

e.  Lubricate the bearings with grease.  

8.  Install the crankshaft through the outboard end of 

the crankcase. 

9.  With the oil pump assembly removed, install the 

bearing carrier and new gasket.  The bolt hole 
positions ensure proper orientation.  Tighten the 
bolts evenly per Table 7 - Bolt Torque." 

10.  If the bearings have not been replaced, reinstall the 

inboard bearing cover plate using the existing shim 
set.  If the bearings have been replaced, use a 

thicker

 set of shims. 

11. Rotate the crankshaft by hand to verify free 

movement of the shaft. 

a.  If the crankshaft has an excessive amount of 

end play, too many shims have been used.  
Lateral crankshaft movement (end play) 
between the bearings should be 0.0015 to 
0.0030" (0.038 to 0.076 mm) .  If necessary, 
remove shims until the end play is within 
tolerance. 

b.  If the crankshaft binds, or will not turn, not 

enough shims have been used pushing the 
bearing cup too tight against the bearing cone.  
Remove the crankshaft from the crankcase and 
drive the inboard bearing cup out toward the 
inboard side of the crankcase.  Reinstall the 
crankshaft and the bearing cover plate using 
additional shims as required.  

12.  Install the oil pump per the "Oil Pump Replacement" 

section of this manual. 

13. Reassemble the compressor according to the 

"Compressor Assembly" section.
