Mc Leod Adjustable Mech T.O. Bearing User Manual

Adjustable Mechanical Throwout Bearing

McLeod adjustable throwout bearings can be adjusted to three different lengths. They come
assembled in the longest configuration. By removing one or both of the spacer rings you can shorten the
assembly by .150” with each ring you remove. This bearing assembly includes an angular contact
constant running bearing know for long life and durability.

To remove the ring(s), pull the upper collar with one hand and the bearing and lower collar with
the other hand. Twist the collars as you pull on them and they will separate the components. The upper
collar has an O-Ring on the ID to retain the lower collar. The spacer rings just slip off of the lower collar.
If the collars are dry, the resistance during disassembly will require greater effort to separate the
components, continue to pull and they will separate.

To reassemble, you reverse the action by pushing and twisting the two collars back together. The
thick lip on the collar is to be assembled closest to the bearing. If the bearing has separated from the
lower collar it is easy to reassemble. Place the bearing, smooth side down, onto a hard surface then push
the lower collar into the bearing. The short side of the lower collar goes into the bearing; the long side of
the lower collar engages the ring(s) and the upper collar.
