4. OPERATION
4.1 bush/bearing Removal (Fig.5)
4.1.1 Select a sleeve that will sit square on the bearing/bush
housing and will allow the bush/bearing to be
extracted without interference. Ensure that only the
force end of the sleeve with the U-shape inspection
slot is used to sit on the bush/bearing housing. The
stepped end of the sleeve should be used to locate in
the end plate.
4.1.2 Select a second sleeve that will sit square on the outer
ring of the bearing/bush and will pass through the
bearing/bush housing without interference. Ensure
that only the force end of the sleeve with the U-shape
inspection slot is used to sit on the outer ring of the
bush/bearing. The stepped end of the sleeve should
be used to locate in the end plate.
4.1.3 Remove the nuts and thrust washers and pass the
force screw half way through the bush/bearing centre
hole. Lubricate the force screw before use.

sleeves. Ensure that side-A is only used for 'A' sleeves
and side-B is only used for 'B' sleeves.

check that the thrust washers are centralised in the
end plates.
4.1.6 Using the appropriate size ring spanners for the force
screw nuts, gradually tighten the force screw nuts to
drive the bush/bearing from the housing. DO NOT use
air tools to operate the force screw nuts. DO NOT

4.2.3 Lightly oil the outer ring of the bush/bearing to be
installed and using a hammer, gently tap around the
outer ring of the bush/bearing to locate it into the
housing. Care should be taken to ensure that the
