1. Prior to assembly, pack tapered roller bearings 
cones with grease.
2. Install metallic grease seals (index 12 and 14) with 
cupped side facing outward and press bearing 
cups (index 11 and 15) into housing ensuring they 
are fully seated. Refer to Figure 16217-01.
3. Apply a light coating of lubricant to yoke shaft bear-
ing diameters. Install the lower bearing metallic 
grease seal (index 17) with cupped side facing out-
wards towards shaft end and press lower bearing 
cone (index 16) onto yoke shaft ensuring it is fully 
seated.
4. Fill lower bearing cup and metallic seal with 
grease. Install yoke shaft with lower bearing cone 
into housing from bottom.

grease. Install bearing cone (index 10), upper me-
tallic seal (index 9), top cap (index 8), tabbed 
washer (index 7), and locknut (index 6) on to yoke 
shaft.

or oscillating the yoke shaft assembly in both direc-
tions a minimum of three times. Then loosen the 
locknut until free. Retighten the locknut to 34 Nm 
(25 ft lb) of torque. If a slot in the locknut and a tab 
on the washer are not aligned, further tighten the
