BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS

Install the bearings 1 and oil seals 2 with their manufacturer's marks or
numbers facing outwards. (In other words, the stamped letters must be on
the side exposed to view.) When installing oil seals, apply a light coating of
lightweight lithium base grease to the seal lips. Oil the bearings liberally when

installing.
CAUTION:
Do not use compressed air to spin the bearings dry. This causes
damage to the surface of the bearings.

All circlips should be inspected carefully before reassembly. Always replace
piston pin clips after one use. Replace misshapen circlips. When installing
