7.9.13 Installing Ball Bearings

CAUTION!
Incorrect installation can damage bearings and cause steering wheels to fall out
The single-row angular ball bearing rings are not identical on both sides. There is only one correct way to
insert them.
– The bearings must always be assembled so that narrow borders of the ball bearings are facing each other
(inside).
– The steering head bolts and nuts must always be pressing against wide (outside) border of ball bearings!
Otherwise, the bearings will be pressed apart and damaged by the bolts.
The illustrations show the wide border of the ball bearing on outside of ball race A and the narrow ball bearing edge on
the inside B.
After installation wheels should rotate freely but bearings should have no play.
