Figure 4. Inboard Bearing Positioning
After the bearings have been installed and allowed
to cool, check to ensure that they have not moved
away from the shaft shoulders in shrinking. If
movement has occurred, use a suitably sized
sleeve and a press to reposition the bearings
against the shaft shoulders.
If heating the bearings is not practical, use a suit-
ably sized sleeve, and an arbor (or hydraulic) press
to install the bearings on the shaft.
When installing the bearings onto the
shaft,
never
press or hit against the outer
race, balls, or ball cage. Press
only
on the
inner race.
Slide the shaft and assembled bearings into the in-
termediate bore until the inboard bearing is fully
seated against the bore shoulder.
Be careful
not to
damage the lip of the oil seal (50) on the shaft
threads.
When installing the shaft and bearings into
the bearing bore, push against the outer
race.
Never
hit the balls or ball cage.
Apply a light coating of oil to the lip of the outboard
oil seal (45), and press it into the bearing cap (36)
with the lip positioned as shown in Figure 2. The
face of the oil seal should be
just flush
with the
outer face of the bearing cap.
Install the wavy washer (46) and bearing cap gas-
ket (33), and secure the bearing cap to the interme-
diate with the hardware (34 and 35).
Be careful
not
to damage the lip of the oil seal (45) on the shaft
keyway.
Lubricate the bearings as indicated in
LUBRICA-
TION
at the end of this section.

Install the shaft key (37, Figure 2) in the shaft key-
way. Position the flexible portion of the coupling as-
sembly (3) on the shaft as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE
The flexible portion of the coupling must be proper-
ly positioned on the shaft. The heads of the caps-
crews in the center of the coupling
must be posi-
tioned toward the pump end of the shaft
.
Align the keyway in the bushing (2) with the shaft
key, and slide it onto the shaft until it is
just flush
with the end of the shaft. Rotate the flexible portion
of the coupling until the tapped holes for the two
