2. Place bearing cup squarely on the bearing bore. With
an arbor press or a hydraulic press and flat disc push
bearing cup into housing until seated.
NOTE
: This procedure applies to both inboard and
outboard bearing cup. Be sure to push cups in
evenly. Any misalignment may result in a damaged
housing or bearing cup.
NOTE
: Take care not to scratch or gauge bearing surface.
Any damage done may result in premature damage
of the bearings.
3. With a 0.001” or 0.040 mm feeler gage, make sure that
there is no gap between the housing and the bearing
cups to insure proper cup seating. Reference

6.3.4a and Figure 6.3.4b

: Any gap between hub and bearing cups can result
in excessive axial bearing clearance or bearing
misalignment and ultimately result in premature
bearing damage.

ASSEMBLIES
1. Clean bearing surface on shaft. With a thread chase
(18 threads per inch) chase thread where set screw
