1.
Working from the threaded end of the shaft, position
a new bearing to the damper shaft, with the marked
side of the bearing facing the threads.
When using a press, always wear overalls, eye, face and
hand protection. Objects such as bearings frequently
break-up under load and the debris caused during
break-up may cause damage and injury to unprotected
parts of the body.
Never wear loose clothing, which could become trapped
in the press and cause crushing injury to the hand, arms
or other parts of the anatomy.
