Align the compact bearings with the camshaft, tighten the mounting
bolts and check the camshaft for free rotation.
If necessary, correct the position of the compact bearing relative to
the slack adjuster again.
Push on both seal sleeves until they contact the compact bearing on
the slack adjuster side.
Install the slack adjusters and wear indicators, place both cover
plates and secure on the axle tube with clamps.
Pack the compact bearing in the brake carrier and on the slack
adjuster with grease using a grease gun until grease emerges at
the end of the bearing.
Turn the camshaft through 360º several times.
Check that the bearing is completely lubricated and that the cams-
haft turns easily.
Lubrication intervals for the camshaft bearing, see chapter
“Maintenance instructions”.
