Thrust Washer and Bearing Cleaning and Inspect
1. Inspect the thrust washer for wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged thrust washers.
2. Notice: Do not allow the bearings to spin. Turn the bearings slowly by hand.
Spinning bearings may cause damage to the rollers.
Inspect the condition of all thrust bearings, input shaft bearing, and output shaft bearing. Wash the bearings thoroughly in a cleaning solvent. Apply compressed air to the bearings. Lubricate the bearings with light oil. Check the bearings for roughness by slowly turning the race by hand.
