2. Insert the cap screws into the tapped holes in the mating hub. Evenly and progressively tighten the

cap screws until the idler bushing and mating hub separate.

3. Remove idler assembly from the mounting structure.

. Mount the assembly to the mounting structure. Place lockwasher and then outer nut on idler bushing

stud, Figure 2. Using a torque wrench, tighten the outer nut to the value listed in Table 2.

Note: 

If the assembly will be threaded into a tapped hole in the mounting surface, extreme care

should be used to prevent the inner nut from turning against the bearings. Additional tightening force
on inner nut will cause bearings to fail prematurely.

WARNING

The inner nut has been tightened to 5 ft. lbs. DO NOT tamper with or retighten

above this value or the bearings will fail prematurely.

4. Make sure idler assembly is parallel with both the driveR and driveN shaft. Properly align the driveR,

driveN, and idler assembly by the four-point method illustrated in Figure 3, below.
