DRIVE DISASSEMBLY
— (Refer to Parts Drawing
Figure 14)
Prior to initiating any disassembly or repair, clean
accumulated dirt and grime from the surface of the drive
housing . Clean the exposed portion of the high-speed and
hollow shafts with a solvent and a non-abrasive cloth . If
the seals only are being replaced proceed to Step 5 . If the
drive will be disassembled for inspection or repair, skip to
Step 9 .
CAUTION
: Do not damage shaft; new seals will leak if seal
contacting surface is marred. Do not use abrasive material
on shaft seal contacting surface.
5 .
SEAL REMOVAL
— (When drive is to be disassembled,
proceed to Step 9) Seal replacement is recommended
after seal removal . When removing seals, maintain shafts
in a horizontal plane to prevent any foreign matter from
falling into the bearings . Refer to Figures 12, 13 & 14 .
NOTE: Only seals on the input side (See Figure 12) of
5407-5507 drives and high-speed shaft seals of the
5608 drive can be replaced if gear drive is mounted on
driven equipment . If gear drive removal is necessary,
proceed to Step 1 for removal instructions .
If drive removal is not necessary, drain lubricant at this
time .
Depending upon seal(s) being replaced, remove v-belt
guard, v-belts, high-speed shaft sheave, shaft cooling
fan (if so equipped), backstop (5507 & 5608J only, if so
equipped) and other accessories as necessary .
a . Two seal mounting arrangements are used as
follows:
Seals are installed into seal cages where seal
cage must be removed from drive to remove
seals . Removal of these seal cages will require
readjustment of the bearings . The following seals
use this mounting arrangement:
5407-5507; All types, H .S . seals .
5407JF & JSC; L .S . seals (output side) .
5608; All types, H .S . & L .S . seals .
Refer to Figures 12, 13 & 14 and remove seals with
this mounting arrangement as follows:
(1) Clean shaft extension with solvent and remove
all sharp edges . Remove seal cage, Ref . #11,
#12, #21 or #66 .
(2) Drive out old seal from seal cage .
(3) Scrape old Permatex from bore exercising
caution not to score the bore .

b . Seals are installed into seal cages where seal cage
may remain attached to drive . The following seals
use this mounting arrangement:
5407 JF & JSC; L .S . seals (input side) .
5407-5507JR; L .S . seals (input & output sides) .
5415-5507JF; L .S . seals (input & output sides) .
Refer to Figures 12, 13 & 14 . Remove the hollow
shaft cover, Ref . #14, on Sizes 5407-5507 . Remove
seals with this mounting arrangement as follows:
(1) Clean shaft extension with solvent and remove
all sharp edges . Use a sharp center punch to
lightly punch the seal case as a guide for the
drill . NOTE: DO NOT drive seal into the bore
too deep . Seals are not axially retained and
disassembly of the drive may be required if the
seal is driven too deep .
(2) Wrap several turns of tape around a .125”
(3 mm) diameter drill bit approximately .25”
(6 mm) from the drill point to prevent the drill bit
from entering too deeply into the housing and
damaging the bearing . Grease or magnetize the
drill bit to help retain the chips . Drill two .125”
(3 mm) diameter holes in the seal case 180°
apart . Control the angle of the drill as illustrated
in Figure 13 to prevent damage to the shaft .
(3) Insert two #10- .750” (M5 x 20) sheet metal
screws into the seal case leaving .5” (13 mm) of
the screw protruding above the seal face . DO
NOT drive the screw more than .25”
(6 mm) beyond seal face or bearing damage
may occur . Use a claw type pry bar under the
screw head as shown in Figure 13 and lift the
seal out . Remove all metal chips . Use a magnet
to remove the metal chips that fall into the bore .
Flush the drive to remove metal chips from the
bearing . Remove Permatex from the housing
bore .
