Note: Make sure to keep the correct race
with its original bearing, and do not hammer
on the casting or chisel the races out. The
races are merely a loose fit. If they are dif-
ficult to remove, be patient and spray some
penetrating oil into the bore and carefully
work the race out from the grease suction
that is holding the race. You can also soak
the casting in mineral spirits to break this
suction.
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove eight
flat head screws and taper attachment top
plate (see Figure 6).
