Reassembling
It
is
of
extreme
importance
that the
assembly of the
journals
be carried
out
under absolutely clean, dust-free
conditions.
1.
Fill
the
reservoir
holes
in
the
journal spider with the
recommended
grease
taking
care
to
exclude all
air
pockets. Fill each
bearing assembly with
grease
to
a
depth of
%in.
(3 mm).
Fit
new
seals
to
the
spider journals
and
insert
the
spider
into
the ■ange yoke,
tilting
it
to
engage
in‘
the
yoke
bores.
Fit
a
bearing assembly
into
the yoke bore
in
the
bottom
position,
and
using
a
soft-nosed drift slightly
smaller
in
diameter
than the hole
in
the
yoke,
tap
it
into
the
yoke bore until
it is
possible
to
■t
the circlip.
Repeat this
operation
for
the other three
bearings
starting opposite
the
bearing ■rst ■tted.
After
assembly, carefully
remove
all surplus
grease
with
a
soft cloth.
If the
bearing
appears
to
bind,
tap
lightly with
a
wooden mallet; this
will
relieve
any
pressure
of the
bearing
on
the ends of the
journals.
