Axle Bearing Installation
1. Install axle bearing (71) on axle (67 or 68). Push bearing onto axle until bearing is flush against axle
shoulder (Figure 16-5, Page 16-4).
2. Apply two drops of Loctite 271
®
to inside of the collar. See following CAUTION.
3. Install collar (73) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-4) onto axle shaft. Place axle assembly on bearing puller
wedge attachment and press collar onto axle.
4. Use external snap ring pliers (.047 tip) to install retaining ring (74) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-4).
5. Place a new
(sealed) bearing (71) and collar (73) on shaft (67 or 68) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-4).
6. Place the bearing puller wedge attachment against collar and press both bearing and collar onto shaft.
Install the retaining ring (74) (Figure 16-5, Page 16-4). See following CAUTION.
• 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 COLLAR IS REMOVED
A THIRD TIME, THE SHAFT AND COLLAR WILL NOT FIT PROPERLY.
• 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.
THIS COULD DAMAGE THE AXLE SHAFT WHEN THE BEARING AND COLLAR ARE PRESSED
ON.
