Casing unit: crankcases
straight lines at a particular angle to bearing axis. The angle-contact ball bearings are designed for bearing combined
loading (radial-axial loads).
They may bear axial loading in one direction only. Because of radial loading, the bearing produces an axial force that
must be combined with an opposite force and it is thus usually fitted in opposition to another.
To change the bearings, proceed as follows:
heat the casing in an oven up to 100 °C.
- Remove the bearing using a drift and a hammer.
Fit the new bearing (while the casing is still hot) perfectly square into its seat. Use a tubular drift which only applies
-
pressure on the bearing outer ring.
- Let casing cool down and ensure that bearing is securely fixed into casing.
Caution
On badly worn engines, bearing bushes may have developed clearance in the casing - normally, bushes are
interference-fit in the casing.
Check that casing to bushing interference, with bearings (4) and (23) installed, is not below 0.03 mm; if not so,
change the casings.
