Coupling Bearing Inspection
Since the coupling bearing is made to extremely close
tolerances, t he clearance can not normally be measured.
NOTE
It is not necessary to remove the coupling bearing for
inspection. If the bearing is removed, it will need to be
replaced with a new one.
Turn the bearing in the coupling back and forth [A] while
checking for plays, roughness, or binding.
If bearing play, roughness or binding is found, replace the
bearing.
Examine the bearing seal [B] for tears or leakage.
If the seal is torn or is leaking, replace the bearing.
Coupling Bearing Lubrication
Pack the bearing with good quality bearing grease. Turn
the bearing around by hand a few times to make sure the
grease is distributed uniformly inside the bearing.
Coupling Damper Inspection
Remove the r ear wheel coupling, and inspect the rubber
dampers [A].
Replace the damper if it appears damaged or deterio-
rated.
