Install needle bearings with the inscribed side (thicker sheet metal) facing the drift.
Lubricate all bearings in transmission with gear oil before installing. Oil with special care for measuring friction torque.
Heat the inner races of tapered roller bearings to approx. 100° C (212° F) before installing.
Do not interchange the inner or outer races between bearings of the same size.
When tapered roller bearings are mounted on a shaft, always replace them together and use bearings from the same manufacturer.
