Assembling units
In cases where the Y-bearing and composite
or cast Y-housing are not supplied as a unit, the
first step is to assemble the bearing into the
housing. To do this, start by removing the locking
collar if the bearing has one. Then insert the
bearing into the filling slot in the housing bore
(† fig. 2) and with a round piece of wood or
pipe, swivel the bearing into position so that the
locking device is facing in the same direction as
the filling slots († fig. 3). When installing
standard bearings, make sure that the relubri- Fig. 3
cation hole in the bearing on the side of the
locking device does not coincide with the filling
slot in the housing, otherwise grease leakage
may result († fig. 4).
