Line the lubrication duct
Put the sleeve in place by hand. Turn the sleeve so that the lubrication duct is
aligned with the outlet duct in the chassis, or a millimetre lower (opposite to
the tool's screw direction, as shown below) to compensate for any rotation
during assembly.
Press in the bearing sleeve
During installation, the tool is used without the intermediate ring.
Fit the tool as shown in the illustration and screw in the bearing sleeve until it
bottoms in the chassis.
Check the fitting
A simple way of checking that the bearing socket is in the correct position in
the chassis (i.e. that it has not rotated during fitting) is to pump a little grease
at the lubrication nipple.
Replaceable seals
Remove the seals using a sharp-pointed awl.
The stripper plate (A) comprises two components; an O-ring and a plastic
B
ring. The O-ring is fitted first and positioned outermost (against the roller).
The plastic ring is first shaped around a round object (1) and then fitted in
the bearing socket (2). Use pliers that do not damage the seal surface; circlip
pliers are ideal. Shape the plastic ring in the bearing socket using a finger.
Grease in the stripper plate and press in the bearing bracket. After a few
minutes, pull out the bearing bracket and check that the stripper plate has
shaped itself correctly.
The seal (B) is a simple O-ring that is fitted by hand without tools. Grease
the O-ring.
