Before fitting a bearing to a shaft, confirm the shaft size is correct h7. i.e. shaft = zero and minus.

Lightly oil the shaft prior to fitting the inner race

When fitting the inner race, there will always be a gap between inner race halves


Place clamping ring joints at 90º to inner race joints

Note the pins are correctly positioned in the clips

Inner race halves are matched numbered. Ensure the matching numbers are fitted together


Ensuring inner race gaps are approximately equal. The butt faces of the inner race halves should never be in contact with each other.
