E. Place each thrust plate over needle bearings (3) so
that the pocket seal is toward end cover (19) or (24)
Tap the thrust plate into position with a soft hammer
until approximately 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) clearance is
left between the thrust plate and end cover. Check
pocket seal (1) to be sure that it is still in place in the
center slot.
F. Insert a large pocket seal (2) into each of the four
slots in the thrust plates. Be sure to push the seals all
the way into the slots so that the hidden end is in
contact with the needle bearing races. Then tap the
thrust plates into position against the end covers.
Trim the exposed ends of the pocket seals with a
razor blade.
