Volvo Penta AQUAMATIC 280 Workshop Manual page 66

5. Use a small amount of water resistant EP bearing
grease, Volvo Penta part no. 1161246-2, to retain the
needle bearings in the cap. Push the spider through
the yoke in one direction to allow the needle bearing to
align with the spider. Push the needle bearing cap into
the yoke with the spider inside the needle bearing cap
to keep the needle bearings in place. Press the needle
bearing cap into the yoke far enough to allow the lock
ring to be installed. Install the remaining needle
bearing caps in the same manner.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when pressing
the needle bearing caps into place. The needle
bearings may come loose and fall to the bottom
of the bearing cap. DO NOT force the needle
bearing caps onto the spider. If the locking
groove for the needle bearings caps do not
readily align, a bearing may have come loose
and fallen to the bottom of the cap.
