1. Bottom seal installation
1. If the large snap ring was removed from the spindle housing, install the snap
ring into the housing groove.
Note: Ensure that the snap ring is fully seated in the housing groove.
2. Install the outer spacer into the top of the spindle housing.
Note: Ensure that the outer spacer fits against the snap ring.
3. Use an arbor press to push the bearing cups into the top and bottom of the
spindle housing.
Note: The top bearing cup must contact the outer spacer that was previously
installed, and the bottom bearing cup must contact the snap ring.
Note: Ensure that the assembly is correct by supporting the first bearing cup
and pressing the second bearing cup against it; refer to
4. Pack the bearing cones with grease. Apply a film of grease on the lips of the
oil seals and O-ring.
5. Install the lower bearing cone and oil seal into the bottom of the spindle
housing.
Note: The bottom seal must have the lip facing out (down). This seal
installation allows grease to purge from the spindle during the lubrication
process (Figure 312).
If you are replacing the bearings, ensure that you use the spacer ring
that is included with a new bearing set
6. Slide the spacer ring and inner bearing spacer into the spindle housing, then
install the upper bearing cone and oil seal into the top of the housing.
Note: The upper seal must have the lip facing in (down). Also, install upper
seal so it is flush to 2.0 mm (0.080 inch) recessed to the housing surface
(Figure 312).
