Bearings
Install needle bearings with the lettering on the
bearing (the side with thicker metal) facing the
drift or other installation tool.
Grease needle bearing for the input shaft in the
crankshaft.
Lubricate all bearings in transmission with gear
oil before installing.
Always replace tapered roller bearings on one
shaft together and use new bearings from the
same manufacturer.
Heat tapered roller bearing inner races to
approx. 100 C (212 F) before installing. Press
in until stop is reached so there is no axial play.
Do not interchange inner and outer bearing
races with those from other bearings of the
same size.
The tapered roller bearings for the output shaft
and the differential in the transmission are low-
friction bearings. Do not additionally oil new
tapered roller bearings when measuring friction
torque. The bearings are pre-treated at the
