2. Inspect the Teflon coating on the moveable sheave
bushing.
Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection: Replace the
cover bushing if more
brass than Teflon is visible
on the bushing. Refer to bushing replacement in
this chapter.
3. Inspect all rollers, bushings and roller pins by pulling
a flat metal rod across the roller. Turn roller with your
finger. If you notice resistance, galling, or flat spots,
replace rollers, pins and thrust washers in sets of
three. Also inspect to see if roller and bushing are
separating. Bushing must fit tightly in roller. Use the
Roller Pin Tool (PN 2870910) to replace rollers and
pins. Take care not to damage roller bushing or
bearing surface of the new pin during installation.

NOTE: Rubber side of the button is positioned
toward the solid roller pin. It is recommended to
switch all buttons to the rubber version during
service (if needed).
