toward infeed end using dry torque of 20 ft-lb.
4. Move outer flange bearing to nominal position; snug up jack bolt and torque nuts
on carriage bolts (outer infeed end).
5. Move inner flange bearing to nominal position, snug up jack bolt. Ensure flange
bearing support bracket is level with bed and tighten flange bearing bracket bolts.
