Here I am pulling off the main bearing. Notice the seal behind it. It's an aluminum disk with an o-ring on the outside and the seal gets pressed in on the inside..
took a week to get the bearings and seals in.. I set them side by side to make sure I knew which was which.. I had marked the old ones with a sharpie and where they went.
The main bearing has to be installed in housing followed by that funky seal first before installing the gear shaft.. I used lots of petroleum jelly and still sheared off a bit of o-ring.. it's tight enough i'm not seeing a problem. I had to have the guy's at priest electric press on the gear shaft then install the pulley. They have an induction heater so it was a piece of cake for them to do.. Thanks guy's..
