Note: Do not install oil seal in carrier until bearing preload is
correctly adjusted.
1. Press inner bearing cone on pinion.
To prevent bearing damage, use suitable sleeve that only
contacts inner race of bearing cone.
2. Install preselected bearing spacer.
3. Press inner and outer bearing cups into the carrier
until seated. Use a feeler gage (.0015" [.038 mm]
approx.) to make sure that bearing cups are fully
seated in bearing bores. Apply lubricant to both cup
and cone.
4. Place carrier housing in press with the pinion sup-
ported by wood block (6" x 6" x 6" [152 x 152 x 152
mm]), so the inner pinion bearing is mated to the
cone.
