Installating the Engine Drive Shaft
The installation is the reverse of
removal procedure. Pay attention to the
following details.
Clean all metal components in solvent.
Crankcase surfaces and bearing covers
are best cleaned using a combination of
LOCTITE CHISEL (GASKET
REMOVER) and a brass brush. Brush
a first pass in one direction then make
the final brushing perpendicularly (90°)
to the first pass.
NOTICE Do not wipe with rags. Use a
new clean hand towel only.
Use a suitable installer for installing
bearings.
Use LOCTITE5910 on mating Su faces.
IMPORTANT: When beginning the
application of the bearing cover sealant,
the assembly and the first torquing
should be done within10 minutes.
it is suggested to have all you need on
hand to save time.
Use a plexiglass plate and apply some
sealant on it. Use a soft rubber
roller50mm-75mm (2in_3in), available
in arts products suppliers for printing,
and rol1 the sealant to get a thin uniform
coat on the plate (spread as necessary).
When ready, apply the sealant on
bearing cover surfaces.
Do not apply in excess as it will spread
out inside crankcase.
NOTE: It is recommended to apply this
specific sealant as described here to get
a uniform application without lumps. If
you do not use the roller method, you
may use your finger to uniformly
distribute the sealant (using a finger
w1ll not affect the adhesion).
