back halves of connecting rods, note which position from which they came from.
4) Turning the crankshaft slightly, carefully hit on side of crankshaft (22) with a rubber mallet until crankshaft is
loose.

seals and taper roller bearings.
REASSEMBLY
5) Using a soft tool, press in the outer bearing ring until the outer edge lines up with the outer edge of the
bearing hole (1).

bearing hole on the opposite side.
7) Press in outer bearing (20) inwards with the bearing cover (14). Make sure that the crankshaft is in a vertical
position and turn it slowly so that the taper rollers of the bearings touch the edge of outer bearing ring.
8) Adjust axial bearing clearance to at least .004” and maximum at .006” by placing fitting discs (20A and/or
20B) under the bearing cover (14).
CAUTION: After assembly has been completed, the crankshaft should turn easily and with very
little clearance.
