ith everything inspected and cleaned,

it’s time to put it all back together. Don’t remember where

everything goes? No problem, just follow along:

Carefully insert the pan bearing

into the outer ring using light

finger pressure. When properly

aligned, the bearing will easily

slip into position. If the bearing

binds up while inserting, remove

the bearing and start again,

being sure to properly align.

Install the pan bearing lock until

finger tight to ensure proper

threading, then finish tightening

with the Blue Whale tool.

Slide the inner ring into the pan

bearing. If aligned properly, the

inner ring should slip into position

with very light pressure.

Hold on to the inner ring and

screw on the gimbal grip until it’s

fully seated.

Use the “outer” pins of the Blue

Whale spanner to tighten. And

you’re done!

TIP:

A

small

amount of Tiffen bearing oil (888-7116) may be applied to the inside or

outside of the bearing to aid reassembly, if necessary. DO NOT use grease anywhere!
