INSTALL SPHERICAL BEARING.
CAUTION
Place cylinder tube parallel blocks
(16) close to bearing bore when
pressing
spherical
bearing
(18).
Failure
to
place
parallel
blocks
correctly may lead to warping of the
cylinder tube (5).
a.
Set up cylinder tube (5) on hydraulic press. Use
parallel blocks (16) to support bearing housing.
CAUTION
Spherical
bearing
(18)
must
be
pressed straight into bearing bore. If
spherical bearing is allowed to tilt,
damage may result to both the
spherical bearing and bearing bore.
b.
Start spherical bearing (18) in bearing bore of
cylinder tube (5).
NOTE
Spherical
bearing
installation
will
require 500 to 700 lbs (2224 to 3114
N.m) force when pressed into bearing
bore.
c.
Place a 1.25 in. (32 mm) diameter spacer (17)
from universal puller kit onto outer race of
spherical bearing (18). Bring hydraulic press
down to meet spacer. Square spacer with face
of press arbor. Press spherical bearing squarely
into base bearing bore.
