Remove Rotor Needle Bearing
Equipment Necessary: Snap Ring Pliers
II
Note: If the rotor needle bearing is to be
reused, mark the bearing and the rotor so that
the bearing will be installed in exactly the same
position when reassembling. A definite wear
pattern develops between the bearing and the
eccentric on the mainshaft. For this reason the
bearing must be installed in the same position. The
bearing will deteriorate rapidly if not installed in
this manner.

Before the needle bearing is removed from
the rotor, make sure that all sealing compo-
nents are removed from both sides of the

damage may occur when the bearing is being
removed from the rotor.

the needle bearing, using a snap ring pliers.
There is also a snap ring on the gear side of
the needle bearing that is to be removed.
2. Slide the needle bearing from within the
rotor.
