1. Remove three screws from retainer plate and remove
retainer plate inner collar and gasket.
2. Press out bearing and oil slinger.
The bearings in the generator are permanently lu-
bricated and require no lubrication during life of
bearing. If a dry bearing is encountered, do not at-
tempt to lubricate, as an improper lubricant or exces-
sive amount of lubricant may burn bearing, or be
thrown off and contaminate inside of generator. Re-
place dry, worn or rough bearings with new bearings,
which are prepacked with proper amount and type of
lubricant.
4. To install, press in bearing and grease slinger with
tube or collar that just fits over outer race. Install
bearing and slinger as shown in Fig. 6E-3 1.
