WARNING
Clean all grease, outside and inside, from ec-
centric housing before putting in oven.
Press the bearing into the chain tensioner.
The seal must press into a dry bore. Use brake
cleaner to make sure the bore is free of grease
where the seal goes.
CAUTION: If the seal is pressed into a slippery
bore, it will misalign or pop out when the vehi-
cle will be running, which will lead to a bearing
failure.
Press the seal in place. Properly installed, it is flush
with the edge of the chain tensioner.
Install all other parts.
