6.13 Assembly of Drive Shaft with
Bearings into Housing
1. Remove assembly by releasing the 4 x M12
fixings. The bearing carrier can be jacked free by
the two screwed holes adjacent to the fixings.
Remove the lip seal carrier (ensuring seal is not
dragged over sharp edge of keyway) together with
‘O’ ring and press or strike (with soft faced mallet)
shaft end 'Y', to withdraw bearings and bearing
carrier.
2. When assembling, all parts should be
scrupulously clean and bearing mounting surfaces
smeared with oil.
3. Position bearing housing in vertical attitude with
bell end upwards mounted on suitable supports so
that end of shaft can emerge through bottom.
4. Ensure shaft with bearings is inserted into the
bearing housing so that it is concentric and
parallel to the mating surfaces. Assembly is
'jacked' home by tightening the M12 fixings
assembled together with the bearing carrier
60 lbs/ft (8.3 kgf m).
5. The outer race of the drive end bearing is inserted
by carefully drifting or pressing the race into the
housing. Alternatively, the Lip Seal Carrier (Part
No. 0015200000) may be utilized, pressing the
race into the housing by making use of longer
bolts and jacking home evenly. If this latter
method is employed be sure to use large washers
beneath the bolt head to distribute pressure over a
larger area as the lipseal carrier may be
manufactured in light alloy.
6. Finally ensure lip seal is in good condition together
with ‘O’ ring before finally bolting up the carrier.
