Disassembly

1. Remove outer snap ring.
2. From the back side, tap on the outer bearing race
with a drift punch in the reliefs as shown or press out
using a hydraulic press.
IMPORTANT:
tapping on outer race only. Once bearing is at
bottom of casting, support casting on outer
edges so bearing can be removed.
3. Inspect bearing.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by
hand, inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or
corrosion. The bearings should turn smoothly
and quietly, with no detectable up and down
movement and minimal movement sideways
between inner and outer race.
4. Inspect bearing housing for wear or damage.
Replace housing if damaged.
