Refer to diagram A for the next step.

2. Assemble the thrust-bearing carrier by first fitting the lock nut (4) onto the carrier (2)

then screw the carrier into the sleeve (5).

1. If your vehicle is fitted with the pressed metal thrust-bearing carrier and fork

remove the spring clip from the carrier.

2. The new carrier (2) has a groove machined in the back, sit the clip in the groove.

3. The bearing blocks (1) are then used to secure the spring clip. Fit the bearing blocks (1)

to the carrier (2) using the 4 x M4 counter sunk screws supplied in the kit. NOTE: Use
locktite on the screws.

2. There are two sets of flats machine into the new carrier the widest ones are used with
the cast iron fork.

3. Fit the bearing blocks (1) to the carrier (2) using the 4 x M4 counter sunk screws
supplied in the kit. NOTE: Use locktite on the screws.

Slide the thrust bearing extension carrier through the inside of the adaptor housing.
Ensure that the tube slides in and out of the adaptor housing with ease. If the thrust
bearing extension tube is tight, you may need to clean any burs inside the housing with
light emery paper.

3. Fill with grease the groove inside the middle of the adaptor housing and refit the
thrust bearing extension tube.

4. Press the thrust bearing (SF0914) onto the front of the extension tube.

5. Fit the two 10-mm dowels (MFC197) into the gearbox end of the new adaptor
housing.

6. Now is a good time to check the condition of the gearbox-input bearing and front seal.
If faulty, replace them.
