NOTICE:
The bearing does not require the assistance of tools to install when properly aligned. Please
refrain from striking the bearing to prevent bearing damage which will decrease service life.

13. Tighten both set screws (figure 10).
14. Repeat steps 4 through 13 for the opposite endplate.
15.
Verify clearance using feeler gauges that ensure the rotor turns freely (figure 12).
NOTICE:
The rotor can shift during bearing replacement. Rotor clearance must be verified after
replacement. Less than minimum recommended clearance can cause premature wear or failure.
Always verify clearances before operation.
