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!
