7.Apply a VERY light coat of Loctite™ Blue #242 or quivalent to the outer diameter of the bearing. Loctite™ should not squeeze out when everything is tightened (Figure 33).

8.Some models use a gasket and some do not. For those with a gasket use a small amount of grease to stick the open ends of the gasket in place during assembly. Otherwise this gasket is intended to seal to a clean dry surface.

9.The 824XL seals in a different manner. The mating surfaces must be clean and dry. Then a thin coat of Hylomar (Toro PN 505-129) is applied to BOTH halves. Allow it to cure until it is dull and tacky, 15 minutes or so, then assemble.

10.All models. Apply a light coat of oil or anti-seize to the gear case screws. Tighten them in an X pattern to 120 in/lbs. (15kg/m) (Figure 34).

Note: Some models have 8 gear case screws; others have 9.
