Carefully
remove the locking pliers while holding onto the Anchor and Bearing Assembly and auger

Slowly
ease the auger back into the tube. Use caution. If the auger is allowed to spring back, the bearing race
may crack.
Install the Bearing Retainer and fasten with a tube clamp. Keep the Bearing Retainer flush with the end of the

Auger Brazing
The auger should be brazed if it is necessary to splice or lengthen it. A bronze, flux coated rod is recommended.
The ends of the auger should butt against each other, DO NOT THREAD INSIDE EACH OTHER. The joint
should be well filled with no sharp edges or rough corners to wear against the tube. To align the auger for brazing,
lay it in angle or channel iron and clamp it firmly in place. Use low heat. Allow the joint to air cool; rapid cooling
will cause the auger to become brittle.
