Installing the Axle Bearing
1. If it was removed, place the retaining ring (6) on the axle shaft (1 or 2) (Figure 9-1).
2. Apply two drops of Loctite® 271 to inside of collar.

• IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO HEAT THE COLLAR TO REMOVE IT.
FIGURE 9-5 FIGURE 9-6
• APPLY LOCTITE 271 TO THE INSIDE OF THE COLLAR ONLY, NOT TO THE SHAFT, SO THAT
THE LOCTITE WILL BE PUSHED AWAY FROM THE BEARING AS THE COLLAR AND BEARING
ARE PRESSED ON. IF LOCTITE GETS ON OR IN THE BEARING, THE BEARING MUST BE
REPLACED.
• THE COLLAR SHOULD BE REMOVED NO MORE THAN TWO TIMES. IF A BEARING IS
REMOVED A THIRD TIME, THE SHAFT AND COLLAR WILL NOT GIVE A PROPER FIT.
• IF THE BEARING WAS REMOVED FROM THE SHAFT, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
• DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BEARING PULLER WEDGE ATTACHMENT AGAINST THE AXLE SHAFT
IN STEP 4. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE AXLE SHAFT WHEN THE BEARING AND COLLAR ARE
PRESSED ON.
