3 Installing the Air Locker
16
Assemble any remaining shims from the Air Locker shim kit
(supplied) together into one shim pack and measure the total
thickness. Include the remaining ARB Master Shim in this
measurement.
Assemble the shim pack onto the seal housing flange on the same
side as the seal housing tube’s solder joint.
Assemble the seal housing into the bearing bore in the shallow half
of the clamshell (shims against the clamshell).
Using a bearing press or arbor press, press the remaining bearing
cup into the bottom of the same bearing bore (until it stops against
the seal housing).
Carefully assemble the shallow half of the clamshell over the top of
the Air Locker.
Measure the preload gap that exists between the two halves of the
clamshell housing with a feeler gauge. (Refer to Fig.10.)
Figure
NOTE : The preload gap should be the same when measured
all the way around the housing. If this is not true, then
reposition the shallow clamshell half and re-measure.
Subtract the amount measured at the preload gap from the
thickness of the shim pack placed onto the seal housing flange.
Record the result as this is your true ‘end float’ amount.
