6. Immediately after the case is heated,
tighten the tool nut to draw the tapered
bearing adapter into the case. This
operation must be done quickly with no
interruptions while the case is hot. If
the support plate on the other side of
the case starts to bend, stop, loosen
the nut slightly, and reheat the case.
The aluminum cup should be about
flush with the bearing boss when the
tapered bearing adapter is fully seated;
see figure 14.
BERT TIP:
Do not over tighten the nut after the
tapered bearing adapter is bottomed
out. Doing so may damage the tool
or main drive gear bearing bore
landing in the case.
7. Remove the installation tool. You will
know the tapered bearing adapter is
seated into the bore when the beveled
retaining ring groove is fully visible;
see figure 15.
8. Install the beveled retaining ring
(VHO-334STPA) with the bevel facing
outward. Make sure that the retaining
ring fully seats into the groove; see
figure 16.
