Maintenance

Bearing / Shaft Replacement

The best method to capture a bearing is by properly tightening it in position. When tightening a
bearing assembly an adequate amount of torque needs to be applied to ensure that the bearing is
securely captured.
When replacing or performing maintenance that requires disassembling the Top Wheel Drive
Bearing, follow the instructions below to ensure the bearing is securely captured.
Due to the amount of force applied when tightening the 120 ft/lb, we recommend replacing the 3/4-
16 x 1-1/2” bolt whenever the Drive Bering Assembly requires maintenance.

Drive Shaft Replacement
1) Install the new bearing using two of the three 1/2-13 x 1” bolts to secure the bearing to the
driver side arm.
2) Temporarily install a 1/2-13 x 3-1/2” bolt to prevent the bearing from spinning during the
torque process.

Insert 3-1/2” bolt

3) Secure the parts into place as shown below. Apply Red Loctite® 271™ on the threads of the
3/4-16 x 1-1/2” bolt.
