NOTE: The set screw has been
removed on later models.
b. On earlier models, use tool
number 14917 and unscrew in
a counterclockwise direction.
c. On later models, use a small pipe
wrench and turn the lock nut in
a counterclockwise direction.
IMPORTANT - - - - - - ,
Whenever a locking nut with a set
screw is removed, a small trian-
gular file or thread chaser (Tool
No. 14922) should be used to re-
store the drive tube threads which
were damaged by the set screw.
Be sure to wipe the filings away
from the threads to prevent them
from binding the basket hub as-
sembly as it is removed.
5. Remove the basket hub assembly by
unscrewing it in a counterclockwise
direction. Use Tool No. 14916, 14917,
on earlier models and Tool No. 35-
2968 on later models.
6. Remove the suspension springs to
prevent damage to the tub braces
and unbolt the tub braces from the
tub support.
7. To remove, lift up on the bearing and
seal housing with tub support attached.
8. To disassemble tub support from hous-
ing, remove mounting screws from
underside.
TUB SEAL
The tub seal consists of the seal face, the
seal body, and on earlier models, the
slinger.
NOTE: All parts of the seal must be
replaced if either of the sealing surfaces
is damaged.
Earlier Models: The seal face fits into a
recess in the underside of the basket hub
assembly. The seal slinger is installed in
the bearing and seal housing, on top of
the spin bearing, with its coned or narrow
end down. The seal body is also installed
in the housing cavity on top of the spin
bearing and slinger.
Later Models: The seal face fits into a
recess in the underside of the basket hub
assembly, as on the earlier model. Also,
the seal body installs in the cavity on the
top side of the bearing and seal housing
as before. However, there is no slinger
and the spin bearing is now located in a
cavity on the underside of the bearing
and seal housing.
Each of the two sealing parts, the seal
face and the seal body, have sealing faces
which are brought into contact with one
another when the basket hub assembly is
threaded down on the drive tube. The
springs in the seal body exert pressure to
keep the sealing faces in contact.
