Modifying the Bearing Cap

4.7.1

Drilling the Bearing Cap

c Hold the bearing cap steady for drilling in a soft jawed vise clamp.

NOTE :

Do not apply too much clamping pressure with the
vise. The bearing cap may be damaged.

c Using a pedestal drill, drill a 5.0mm 3/16’’] hole through the bearing

cap where the seal housing tube hole has been marked.
(Fig.9.)


Figure 9.













c Remove the bearing cap from the vise, turn it upside down, and

re-clamp it in the vise.

c The drilled hole must be chamfered approximately 3mm [1/8”] to

remove any sharp edges that may chip-off and for clearance
around the solder joint at the base of the tube. (Fig. 10.)
