16. Apply approximately 60 – 70 grams of high-temperature grease to the bearing. Pack it in tightly.
17. Replace the bearing cover and oil seal. Apply some reversible anaerobic threadlocker (e.g. blue Loctite ®) to
the screw threads, then tighten them in a circular pattern. Use the torque wrench to tighten the screws to 8.1
ft-lbs (11 Nm).
18. On the other side of the assembly, remove the retaining ring, eccentric block, and bearing cover and oil seal
(basically, repeat steps 13 – 15). Apply approximately 60 – 70 grams of high-temperature grease to the
bearing. Pack it in tightly.
19. Replace the bearing cover and oil seal. Apply some reversible anaerobic threadlocker (e.g. blue Loctite ®) to
the screw threads, then tighten them in a circular pattern. Use the torque wrench to tighten the screws to 8.1
ft-lbs (11 Nm).
20. Reassemble the eccentric blocks and retaining rings on both sides.
21. Replace the pulley and shaft key (step 12).
22. Apply some reversible anaerobic threadlocker (e.g. blue Loctite ®) to the pulley mounting screw threads, and
use the torque wrench to tighten the pulley mounting screw and washer (step 11) to 19.2 ft-lbs (26 Nm).
23. The vibrating assembly is now fully greased and ready to be reassembled onto the plate compactor.
