Axle and Friction Plate Assembly

Assemble in reverse order. The following are notes to assist you:

1.Install the snap ring into the grove in the pulley and shaft. The sharp edge of the snap ring should face the pulley. Install the thrust bearing next to the snap ring (Figure 126).

3.Remember the threads on the pulley and shaft and the drive plate are left hand. Tighten firmly.

4.Install the bearings on the friction plate frame. Do not tighten yet.

5.After the axle is installed, rotate the axle and firmly strike each bearing with a rubber mallet. This helps align the bearings with the axle. Secure the bearings to the frame.

2.Fill the cavity between the bearings of the hub assembly with No. 2 general-purpose grease before installing the pulley and shaft (Figure 127).
