12.6SHAFT & BEARING ASSEMBLY
1.The bearings must be inserted separately with the inner bearing fitted first and pulled down with the bearing tool onto the shoulder in the bearing housing. IMPORTANT: There must be no gap between the bearing outer race and the shoulder of the aluminium extrusion. Remove the insertion tool at this point and check that the inner bearing is fully home.
2.Fit the bearing spacer and press in the outer bearing using the bearing tool. Check the spacer has no end float but has slight sideways movement to allow for shaft insertion.
