General Repair Information: Bearings
- Install the new tapered roller bearings. It is not necessary to oil them.
- Install needle bearings with the lettered side (thicker metal) racing the installation tool.
- Replace all the tapered roller bearings that are on the same shaft. Use tapered roller bearings from the same manufacturer.
- Heat the tapered roller bearing inner races to approximately 100 °C (212 °F) with the inductive heat unit VAS 6414 before installing. Press on until seated when installing, so there is no axial clearance.
- Do not interchange inner and outer bearing races with those from other bearings of the same size, bearings are paired.
