Support bearing - viscous coupling - rear

SUPPORT BEARING - VISCOUS COUPLING - REAR

Service repair no - 47.20.06

Remove

1. Remove rear propeller shaft. See this section.

CAUTION: It is important that the viscous coupling is fully supported whilst pressing off the support bearing.

2. Note the fitted position of the support bearing on the viscous coupling.

3. Position suitable press bars to support bearing as shown, taking care that the press bars are not positioned on the steel flinger.
4. With assistance, position viscous coupling assembly onto press bed, with suitable press bars located on the support bearings as shown.
5. Position LRT-37-011/2 thrust button onto viscous coupling splines.
6. With assistance, press the splined end of the viscous coupling unit through the support bearing. Take care that the viscous coupling does not drop when free of the bearing.
7. Remove viscous coupling assembly from press.

NOTE: Replace steel flinger on viscous coupling if damaged during removal of support bearing.

Refit

1. Clean flinger, bearing journal, splines and support bearings
2. Ensure that the cavities between the bearing and outer shrouds are packed with Texaco Novatex EP2 grease.

3. With assistance, position viscous coupling assembly onto press bed and locate the press bars onto collar on viscous coupling as shown.
4. Position LRT-60-010/1 onto bearing inner race, and with assistance, press support bearing onto viscous coupling.
5. Remove viscous coupling assembly from press.
6. Spin support bearing and check for true running .
7. Fit rear propeller shaft. See this section.
