Installing the Carrier Bearings


c With the Air Locker well supported in an arbor press, apply a thin

film of high-pressure grease to the ring gear side-bearing journal,
and assemble the newly established shim pack (thickness ‘D’ in
Fig.5.) onto the bearing journal.

c Press a tapered roller bearing cone onto the bearing journal of the

differential carrier until the bearing seats firmly against the shim
pack.

NOTE :

Never re-use any bearings that are damaged or worn.

c Invert the Air Locker and apply a thin film of high-pressure grease

to the seal housing side bearing journal.

c Press an original bearing cone onto the Air Locker bearing journal,

taking care not to damage the O-ring grooves. (Figure 6.)
