Reassembly and Installation
Standard Rotation
Driveshaft Needle Bearing
REASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
CAUTION
If driveshaft needle bearing failure has occurred,
and original bearing race has turned in the gear
housing, gear housing MUST be replaced. Loose
fitting needle bearing will move out of position
and cause repeated failures.
1. Apply a thin coat of Quicksilver Needle Bearing
Assembly Lubricant to driveshaft needle bearing
bore in gear housing.
2. By way of propeller shaft cavity, place needle
bearing in drive shaft bore with numbered side of
bearing facing up drive shaft bore.
3. Install and seat needle bearing with the following
tools: Puller Rod* (91-31229), Nut* (11-24156),
Pilot* (91-36571), Plate* (91-29310), and
Mandrel (models with preloaded driveshaft use
91-38628*; models with standard driveshaft use
91-92788). Pull bearing up into bore until it
bottoms on gear housing shoulder. (DO NOT use
excessive force.)
