1. Wipe the bearing surface of the midship tube shaft
with a fine emery cloth.
2. Install a new slinger (included in the center bearing
replacement parts kit) on the midship tube shaft. Use
a section of tubing to avoid damaging the slinger.
Make sure the slinger is completely seated against
the midship tube shaft shoulder.
3. Before installing the new center bearing assembly,
be sure to fill the entire cavity around the bearing
with a waterproof lubricant.
Enough lubricant must be applied to fill the cavity to
the extreme edge of the slinger surrounding the
bearing. Lubricants must be waterproof.
