nOTe: Keep the bearing tools clean of any
collected grease and dirt each time they are
used to avoid damaging the threads of the
bearing tool.
21. Inspect the bearing housing for any dirt,
grease and debris on the bearing seats,
bearing stop and snap ring. Clean the
surfaces with a Scotch-Brite™ pad to
remove dirt. Avoid removing any material
that would change the dimension of the
surfaces. Do not use a degreaser to clean
a bearing or the bearing housing, because
degreaser can degrade lubricant if it gets
into the bearings. Remove any grease and
dirt with a clean dry rag.
