NOTICE

 

If the housing makes hard contact before it is 
close enough for the screws to engage, do not 
force it; internal parts are not aligned. Release 
and reapply pressure until the housing slides 
into position so it can be secured with screws.

 

 

9.3.8

  Observe the gap between the bearing housing 

and tighten the screws in unison until the flange on the 
housing just begins to enter the drive cap. At that time 
tighten each screw about half a turn at a time, the 
screws should easily turn. If a screw becomes tight, 
move to another until the housing is fully seated into the 
drive cap.

  After the housing is seated in the drive cap, 

tighten all screws to secure.

Rear Bearing, U-Seal Cartridge, and Tube 

Casing Reassembly 

 

9.4.1

  Place the assembled tool on a bench with the 

rear of the tube casing facing up as shown in Figure 33.  
 

9.4.2

 

Fully insert the rear bearing into the end of the 

tube casing. Pressing the bearing is usually not needed 
if the bearing is inserted straight with no side-cocking.

9.4.3

 

Insert the u-seal cartridge into the tube casing. 

The side of the cartridge with the open u-seal faces up. 

 
9.5  Backplate Coupling-Flange Reassembly, 
Figure 34 

 

9.5.1

 

Place the plastic seal-disc into the tube casing. 

Note: If the disc is to be reused, make sure the grooved 
side faces toward the axle. If the disc is new the sides 
are identical; it does not matter how it is installed. The 
groove will be formed by the rotating axle. 
 

9.5.2

 

Place the backplate atop the disc and uniformly 

tighten the screws to secure. Note: If the end of the axle 
extends too far out to prevent installation of the screws, 
remove the disc, place a folded paper towel or similar 
protective cover over the ridge on the axle, and tighten 
the backplate enough to press the axle into the tube 
casing. Remove the backplate and protective cover and 
reassemble with the seal-disc in place.

9.6 

Air Motor and Air Motor Gear Reassembly, 

Refer to Figure 35 

 

NOTE: Installation of the air motor requires a narrow 33-
millimeter wrench. If a wrench is not available, one 
should be purchased, or machine (or grind) one until it is 
narrow enough to fit within the flats.  
 

9.6.1

  If the gear was removed or replaced, install it 

onto the motor shaft with the set screw end facing 
toward the motor as shown in Figure 35. Slide it fully 
onto the shaft leaving only enough room to insert a 2-mm 
hex key into the set screw. Tighten the screw to secure. 
 

9.6.2

  Apply a generous amount of Mobilgrease XHP 

462 Moly, Chevron Delo Heavy Duty Moly 3% EP 2, or 
equivalent gear grease to the gear teeth, and gear 
socket in the drive cap. 

Front Bearing Housing 

Apply downward pressure on the 
bearing housing to start at least 
two screws into the drive cap.
