Shaft Bearing End Play Adjustment

1. Perform this procedure when the shaft bearing, the shaft, the head, or the housing is replaced.

   Note: Do not install the barrel assembly or the pistons for this procedure.

2. Remove control cylinder (17), bias cylinder (9), and bias spring (11) from head (14) .

3. Install bearing cone (19) on the splined end of shaft (21). Install the bearing cup in housing (20). Make sure that the cup and the cone are against each location shoulder.

4. Install the shaft and the bearing cone into housing (20) .

5. Install bearing cone (13) on shaft (21) without shims (15). Install the bearing cup in head (14). Make sure that the cup and the cone are against each location shoulder.

6. Assemble head (14) to housing (20) with the gasket in place.

7. Tighten six bolts (6) and (8) to a torque of 71 ± 14 N·m (52.4 ± 10.3 lb ft).

   Note: Two of the bolts are replaced by studs in order to assist in aligning the head and the housing for assembly.

8. Position the pump so that shaft (21) is vertical with the splined end at the top.

9. Rotate shaft (21) backward and forward several times in order to seat the bearings.

10. Place a dial indicator so that the tip of the indicator is on the end of shaft (21). Read the dial indicator while the shaft is under upward force.

11. Subtract the desired end play of 0.055 ± 0.045 mm (0.0022 ± 0.0018 inch) from the dimension that is measured in Step 10.
    Show/hide table

    Table 1

    Example
    End play from Step 10	1.016 mm (0.0400 inch)
    - Desired end play	0.055 ± 0.045 mm (0.0022 ± 0.0018 inch)
    Required shim thickness	0.961 ± 0.045 mm (0.0378 ± 0.0018 inch)

12. Remove six bolts (6) and (8). Then remove head (14) from housing (20) .

13. Remove bearing cone (13) from shaft (21) .

14. Install the correct thickness of shims (15) from Step 11 on shaft (21). Then reinstall bearing cone (13) .

15. Repeat Step 6 through Step 10. If the measured end play is not 0.01 to 0.1 mm (0.0004 to 0.004 inch), repeat Step 11 through Step 15.
