Component Repair
Step 7
Install the Swivel Tit Assembly/Gland Nut.
Inspect the O-ring seal near the top of the thru-shaft and make sure it is not damaged. Replace the
O-ring if it shows any sign of nicks, cuts, deterioration or wear. Then apply a light layer of grease to
the O-Ring. The grease will help the swivel tit assembly slide over the O-ring and reduce the pos -
sibility for the O-ring to be pushed out of the seat or damaged as the swivel tit assembly is installed.
Figure 13.
Apply anti-seize to the thru-shaft threads. The anti-seize is extremely important and will prevent the
stainless steel threads on the shaft and swivel tit assembly from galling and seizing. If anti-seize
is not used and the threads seize, the thru-shaft and the swivel tit assembly will be ruined
and the thru-shaft motor will have to be completely disassembled and rebuilt!!
While holding the thru-shaft with the 3/4” (19mm) open end wrench, install the swivel tit assembly/
gland nut and hand tighten. Then use a 15/16” (24mm) deep well socket and a torque wrench to
tighten swivel tit assembly/gland nut to 50 ft lbs. Figure 14.

and the threads below the seal coated with anti-seize.

Step 8
Install the Thrust Housing Cap.
Inspect the O-ring seal in the thrust housing cap.
Replace the O-ring if it shows any sign of nicks,
cuts, deterioration or wear. Then apply light layer
of grease to the O-Ring. The grease will help the
cap assembly slide into the torque housing and
reduce the possibility for the O-ring to be pushed
out of the seat or damaged as the assembly is
installed. Figure 15.
