11. Rotate bearing by hand and check for smooth
rotation. Visually inspect bearing for moisture, dirt, or
corrosion.
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.
12. Replace bearing if moisture, dirt, corrosion, or
roughness is evident.
Bearing Replacement
Bearing Removal
1. Remove the 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 front bearing carrier if
damaged.
Bearing Installation
5. Thoroughly clean the front 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.
CAUTION
Use an arbor and press only on the outer race,
otherwise bearing damage may occur.
7. Apply Loctite ® 603 ™ retaining compound to outer
circumference of new bearing race and carefully
press new bearing into the bearing carrier housing.
NOTE: Use care to not allow any of the Loctite ®
compound to get in the bearing.
8. Wipe the housing clean of any excess compound
and install the snap ring.
