Installing
As the bearing seat in the clutch half
of the crankcase has no locating
face, the oil pump must be installed
first – it serves as the locating face.
– Install the oil pump, b 11.3
– Heat area of bearing seat to
about 160°C (320°F).
– Position the ball bearing so that
the centering ring (arrow) points
toward the oil pump.
: Push the ball bearing home as far
as stop (oil pump).
This operation must be carried out
quickly because the bearing
absorbs heat and begins to expand.
– Check that the bearing is properly
seated. If necessary, use press
arbor 1118 893 7200 to carefully
press home the bearing until it
butts against the oil pump.
– Remove the oil pump and
lubricate the pump piston,
b 11.3
