rollers from the heads.
(c) Screw a bolt back into the shaft end, knock out one
end bearing, then use the same shaft to knock out
the other end bearing.
(d) Fit new bearings, replace rollers into the heads,
lubricate shaft bolts with an anti seize compound
before installing them. Tighten securely and ensure
rollers rotate freely when fully tightened.
(e) Be sure the spacing washers are fitted to the shaft
ends before installing the rollers into the heads, in
the correct sequence smaller diameter washer first
and the larger diameter washer last.
(f) Sometimes, if the rollers do not rotate freely when
installed use a soft headed hammer to hit the
securing bolts on each end of the head, this will seat
all parts and allow the roller to rotate freely.
(g) If the rods are removed or lengths altered ensure
they are correctly adjusted so that the three heads
are parallel to each other when in the straight
