INFORMATION: The aft bearing (gearbox side) is not pressed into the Hub Bearing Spacer but locates against an internal shoulder profile on the inside of the Hub Bearing Spacer. If the aft bearing comes out with the shaft, simply slide it off the shaft. If force is required to remove the bearing, inspect for damage and corrosion. The bearing must be free-spinning and free of corrosion to re-use in the assembly. |
