1. Make sure the race of the outer (sealed) bear-
ing is packed with grease. If necessary, ap-
ply a small amount of a high quality grade 2
lithium-based (or equivalent) bearing grease
to the bearing. Keep the grease off of the in-
ner and outer bearing surfaces that mate
against the crankcase and crankshaft.
2. Press the outer (sealed)bearing into the crank-
case until it is flush with the crankcase sur-
face. Make sure the rubber seal is to the out-
side.
3. Press the inner seal into the crankcase to a
depth of 0.400 in. (10.2 mm) as shown in
Figure 3-88. Make sure the lips of the inner
seal face away from the outer bearing.
Lightly lubricate the lips of the inner seal with
2-Cycle engine oil.
4. Install the thrust washer onto the crankshaft.
5. Press the inner (unsealed) bearing onto the
crankshaft until it makes light contact with
the thrust washer.
