the shaft end of the pump.

1. A press must be used for disassembly and installation of

the inner ball bearing.

2. Take care not to damage the spline end of the shaft. If you

must press on the spline end, use a spacer to protect the

spline end.

3. Make sure the inner race of the bearing is properly

supported.

until it can no longer be turned by hand. Back off counter-

clockwise until the rotor shaft can be turned by hand with

a slight noticeable drag. This is zero end clearance.
