NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly and
quietly, with no detectable up and down movement
and minimal movement sideways between inner and
outer race.
Bearing Replacement
Bearing Removal
1. Remove outer snap ring.
2. From the back side of the bearing carrier, tap on the
outer bearing race with a drift punch in the reliefs as
shown.
3. Drive bearing out evenly by tapping on outer race
only. Once bearing is at bottom of casting, support
casting on outer edges so bearing can be removed.
4. Inspect the bearing carrier housing for scratches,
wear or damage. Replace rear bearing carrier if
damaged.
Bearing Installation
5. Thoroughly clean the rear bearing carrier housing and
the outer race on the new bearing. Be sure that all oil
residue has been removed from each surface.
6. Support the bottom of the bearing carrier housing.
7. Apply Loctite
®
603
™
retaining compound to the outer
circumference of the new bearing race and carefully
press the new bearing into the bearing carrier
housing.

®
compound to get in the bearing.
8. Wipe the housing clean of any excess compound and
install the snap ring.
Bearing Carrier Bushing Replacement
Check bearing carrier bushings and pivot tubes for
excessive wear or damage. If replacement is required,
slide pivot tubes out and remove bushings with a drift
punch. Install new bushings by pressing them into the
bearing carrier.
