Sub Assembly A Reassembly (Nose Section)
STEP 20
Reinstall the latch kit back onto the sheath housing. Once
this is done, place the front spindle bearing into the
nosepiece. Depress the latch and screw the nosepiece back
into the housing. Firmly screw the two pieces together using two rubber strips.
STEP 21
Now place the main spindle bearing onto the back of the spindle.
Follow this by sliding the thrust washer and shim washer over the end
of the spindle.
STEP 22
Now insert the clutch into the clutch housing. Turn the
assembly over and place 2 dabs of green grease onto the
back of the clutch 180

At this point, hold the spindle assembly and clutch
assembly horizontally and opposite each other (far

screwing the spindle bolt into the spindle as shown

STEP 24
Insert the spindle half way into the 3/16” collet. Now
tighten the spindle bolt, tightly, into the spindle (far left

It is now time to install the three wide drive rings. Insert the wide drive
ring plate into your wide drive ring tool (00017). Follow that by spacing
the three drive rings evenly in the tool (as shown). Grooves are pre cut

STEP 26
With the drive rings properly placed in the drive ring

Make
