INFORMATION
BALL AND ROLLER BEARINGS
CAUTION: Never refit a ball or roller
bearing without first ensuring that it is in a
fully serviceable condition.
1. Remove all traces of lubricant from bearing
under inspection by washing in a suitable
degreaser; maintain absolute cleanliness
throughout operations.
2. Inspect visually for markings of any form on
rolling elements, raceways, outer surface of
outer rings or inner surface of inner rings. Reject
any bearings found to be marked, since any
marking in these areas indicates onset of wear.
3. Holding inner race between finger and thumb of
one hand, spin outer race and check that it
revolves absolutely smoothly. Repeat, holding
outer race and spinning inner race.
4. Rotate outer ring gently with a reciprocating
motion, while holding inner ring; feel for any
check or obstruction to rotation, and reject
bearing if action is not perfectly smooth.
5. Lubricate bearing generously with lubricant
appropriate to installation.
6. Inspect shaft and bearing housing for
discoloration or other marking suggesting that
movement has taken place between bearing and
seatings. (This is particularly to be expected if
related markings were found in operation 2).
7. Ensure that shaft and housing are clean and free
from burrs before fitting bearing.
8. If one bearing assembly of a pair shows an
imperfection it is generally advisable to replace
both with new bearings; an exception could be
made if the faulty bearing had covered a low
mileage, and it could be established that
damage was confined to it only.
9. When fitting bearing to shaft, apply force only to
inner ring of bearing, and only to outer ring when
fitting into housing. (Refer to ST1042M).
10. In the case of grease lubricated bearings (e.g.
hub bearings) fill space between bearing and
outer seal with recommended grade of grease
before fitting seal.
11. Always mark components of separable bearings
(e.g. taper roller bearings) when dismantling, to
ensure correct reassembly. Never fit new rollers
in a used outer ring, always fit a complete new
bearing assembly.

INFORMATION
OIL SEALS
NOTE: Ensure that the seal running track
is free from pits, scores, corrosion and
general damage prior to fitting
replacement seal.
1. Always fit new oil seals when rebuilding an
assembly.
2. Carefully examine seal before fitting to ensure
that it is clean and undamaged.
3. Coat the sealing lips with clean grease; pack
dust excluder seals with grease, and heavily
grease duplex seals in cavity between sealing
lips.
4. Ensure that seal spring, if provided, is correctly
fitted.
5. Place lip of seal towards fluid to be sealed and
slide into position on shaft, using fitting sleeve
when possible to protect sealing lip from damage
by sharp corners, threads or splines. If fitting
sleeve is not available, use plastic tube or tape
to prevent damage to sealing lip.
6. Grease outside diameter of seal, place square to
housing recess and press into position, using
great care and if possible a ’bell piece’ to ensure
that seal is not tilted. (In some cases it may be
preferable to fit seal to housing before fitting to
shaft). Never let weight of unsupported shaft rest
in seal.
7. If correct service tool is not available, use a
suitable drift approximately 0.4mm (0.015 in)
smaller than outside diameter of seal. Use a
hammer VERY GENTLY on drift if a suitable
press is not available.
8. Press or drift seal in to depth of housing if
housing is shouldered, or flush with face of
housing where no shoulder is provided. Ensure
that the seal does not enter the housing in a
tilted position.
NOTE: Most cases of failure or leakage of
oil seals are due to careless fitting, and
resulting damage to both seals and
sealing surfaces. Care in fitting is essential if
good results are to be obtained. NEVER use a seal
which has been improperly stored or handled,
such as hung on a hook or nail.

INFORMATION
JOINTS AND JOINT FACES
1. Always use correct gaskets where they are
specified.
2. Use jointing compound only when
recommended. Otherwise fit joints dry.
3. When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take great care to
prevent it from entering oilways, pipes or blind
tapped holes.
4. Remove all traces of old jointing materials prior
to reassembly. Do not use a tool which could
damage joint faces.
5. Inspect joint faces for scratches or burrs and
remove with a fine file or oil stone; do not allow
removed material or dirt to enter tapped holes or
enclosed parts.
6. Blow out any pipes, channels or crevices with
compressed air, fit new ’O’ rings or seals
displaced by air blast.
FLEXIBLE HYDRAULIC PIPES, HOSES
1. Before removing any brake or power steering
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding
them as thoroughly as possible.
2. Obtain appropriate plugs or caps before
detaching hose end fittings, so that ports can be
immediately covered to exclude dirt.
3. Clean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation
of plies, security of end fittings and external
damage. Reject any hose found faulty.
4. When refitting hose, ensure that no unnecessary
bends are introduced, and that hose is not
twisted before or during tightening of union nuts.
5. Containers for hydraulic fluid must be kept
absolutely clean.
6. Do not store brake fluid in an unsealed
container. It will absorb water, and fluid in this
condition would be dangerous to use due to a
lowering of its boiling point.
7. Do not allow brake fluid to be contaminated with
mineral oil, or use a container which has
previously contained mineral oil.
8. Do not re-use brake fluid bled from system.
9. Always use clean brake fluid to clean hydraulic
components.
10. Fit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of dirt.
11. Absolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
12. After any work on hydraulic systems, inspect
carefully for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum pressure to
the brakes (engine running) and operates the
steering.

INFORMATION
FUEL SYSTEM HOSES
CAUTION: All fuel hoses are made up of
two laminations, an armoured rubber outer
sleeve and an inner viton core. If any of
the fuel system hoses have been disconnected, it
is imperative that the internal bore is inspected to
ensure that the viton lining has not become
separated from the amoured outer sleeve. A new
hose must be fitted if separation is evident.
COOLING SYSTEM HOSES
CAUTION: The following precautions
MUST be followed to ensure that integrity
of cooling hoses and their connections to
system components are maintained.
Hose orientation and connection
1. Correct orientation of cooling hoses is important
in ensuring that the hose does not become
fatigued or damaged through contact with
adjacent components.
2. Where ’timing’ marks are provided on the hose
and corresponding connection, these must be
used to ensure correct orientation.
3. Hoses must be pushed fully onto their
connection points. Usually, a moulded form on
the stub pipe provides a positive indicator.
