Step 52: Press fit the Thrust Bearing (W) into the Bearing  
Case (III).

Step 53: Slide a –108 O-Ring (KKK) onto the Adjusting Screw (JJJ) 
as shown in Figure 38. Slide the assembly from Step 52 onto the 
Adjusting Screw (JJJ).

Step 54: Thread the Aluminum Bearing Nut (LLL) onto the  
Screw (JJJ) from the bottom. Leave some room below the  
Bearing Nut (LLL), and thread a 1/2-20 SS Left-Hand Jam Nut 
(MMM) onto the Screw (JJJ). The Jam Nut (MMM) and Bearing  
Nut (LLL) should be tightened against each other as shown in 
Figure 39.

Step 55: Place the Tube Cap for VRP-600/1000_SB-PID or  
Tube Cap SS for VRP-1500-SB-PID (OOO) and Control Spring  
(NNN) onto the Adjusting Screw (JJJ). Check the concentricity  
of the Spring (NNN), by spinning the assembly. Make sure that  
the Spring (NNN) touches no parts of the Screw (JJJ) when 
spinning. If the Spring (NNN) does touch any part of the Screw 
(JJJ), then replace the Spring (NNN) and repeat the test. If the 
Spring (NNN) is satisfactory then move to Step 56.
