Assembly - Toro Reelmaster 5200-D Service Manual

Assembly

1. Coat a new outer seal plate with a thin film of oil and
place the seal plate and brake assembly in position on
the axle shaft.
2. Pack the bearing with grease and press it onto the
axle shaft (Fig. 13).
IMPORTANT: Drive the bearing onto the axle shaft
by pressing on the inner race of the bearing only.
3. Slide a new bearing retainer on the axle shaft. Sup-
port the shaft and retainer in a suitable press and push
the bearing retainer firmly against the bearing (Fig. 14).
IMPORTANT: Do not heat the bearing retainer to
install. Heat will destroy the close tolerance press
fit.
4. Prepare a new inner shaft seal for assembly. Put a
light coat of No. 1 Permatex or equivalent on the outside
diameter (surface that contacts the axle housing), and
a thin film of oil on the inside diameter (surface that con-
tacts the axle shaft. Install the new seal to a depth of
1.218 in. (30.9 mm) into the housing (Fig. 15).
