ficult to correctly install the bearing in its support
due to the countershaft and support misalign-
ment.

– Add shim(s) (P/N 504 0398 00) between chain-
case and frame until bearing is well centered in
its support and easy to install.
This chart can be use as a “starting point” to cor-
rect the chaincase perpendicularity.
