Aviation Form-A-Gasket
®
(or
equivalent) to the lower half bearing housing to prevent possible oil seepage.
14. Place the outboard oil ring (114A) on the oil-ring sleeve (443B).
15. Adjust the end play with the gasket (361A) and the thrust end cover (109A).
When new bearings are installed, you must measure the axial end play:
a) Bolt the end cover to the thrust housing.
b) Move the shaft axially from the coupling end.
c)
Measure the shaft axial movement with a dial indicator mounted on the radial bearing housing.
This table shows the clearance requirements between the thrust bearing end cover and the bearing:
Bearing type
Clearance in millimeters | inches
Ball/ball
0.127–0.254 | 0.005–0.010
Sleeve/ball
0.127–0.254 | 0.005–0.010
Sleeve/tilt-pad 0.127–0.254 | 0.005–0.010
16. Assemble the outboard labyrinth seal (332C) into the outboard thrust end cover (109A):
a) Clean the end cover with a solvent.
b) Fit the labyrinth seal (332C) into the bore of the cover (160).
c)
Tap the seal in with a hammer.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the expulsion port is at the 6 o'clock position and is properly seated.
17. Install the thrust bearing outboard-end cover (109A) , with the gasket (360A), and shaft guard
(785C). Tighten the end cover to the housing with the capscrews (371C).
18. Install a new oil filter (550A) and filter plug (113Q).
