‘cannot be removed until the outside rod and bearing have been removed.
CROSSHEAD PIN BEARING — The crosshead pin bearings can be pulled from the connecting rod after the snap rings
have been taken out. The crosshead pin bearing has its inner race shrunk on the crosshead pin and held in place with
1 snap ring. It wll be necessary to cut this race to remove It from the crosshead pin.
CRANKSHAFT AND GEAR
GEAR REMOVAL ANDIOR TURNING — The gear is held to the crankshaft with drive fit bolts. The gear also has a
slight shrink {it to the crankshaft. The gear should not be removed unless itis to be replaced. If the gears tobe turned
to use the unworn side of the teeth, it is necessary to turn the gear and crankshaft together, as a unit. The gear and
pinion are not centered In the pump, which means that the pinion shaft must also be turned,
PINIONS AND BEARINGS
PINION SHAFT — The pinion should not be taken out unless necessary to turn the shatt or to replace a bearing. The
pinion bearings are cage mounted, the outside dlameter of the lett hand cage Is smaller than the outside diameter of
the right hand cage. This permits the pinion and bearings to be moved out of the frame from left to right. Remove the
ring retainers and bump the shaft out. A sultable jack screw arrangement tled to the cages will assist in the
removal.
REMOVAL OF PINION WITH CRANKSHAFT AND GEAR IN PLACE — It is not necessary to remove the crankshaft and
{gear in order to remove the pinion shatt. Removal of the bearing retainers, cage plates and bearing cages permits the
pinion shaft to be disengaged trom the gear and removed from the pump.
REMOVAL OF PINION BEARING WITHOUT REMOVING PINION SHAFT — A pinion bearing can be replaced without
pulling the pinion shaft by removing the oll lube troughs, bearing cage plates, and retainers. Support the shatt to pre-
vent it from moving and move the bearing cage In toward the pinion until it clears the bearing. Leave the cage partially
‘engaged in the bore to facilitate reassembly. Shield the interior of the pump and cut the bearing from the shaft. The
‘new Dearing may now be installed and the cage pulled back over the bearing.
PINION BEARINGS — The pinion bearings can be pulled from the shaft after the assembly has been removed from the
pump. The bearings are Identical, but the cages are different due to the left hand being slightly smaller than the right
hand cage. Mark them to prevent error when assembled.
CROSSHEAD LINERS — The crosshead liners are bolted to the main frame, They can be removed after the
‘crossheads have been taken out. Protect the shims used under the lower liner from damage and save for later use

ff the gear teeth will be leading into the pinion as the gear rotates. Illustration on page 28 shows the correct,
installation and mounting procedure.
NEW GEAR — In the event that a new gear is being mounted on an old crankshatt, install the gear on the crankshaft
‘and use the holes In the crankshaft as the template for finish reaming the mounting bolt holes. Bolts with a “stepped”
diameter, matching the reamed holes in the crankshaft and the drilled holes In the gear, should be made and used to
‘help In the initial alignment. Use one of these bolts on each side of the hole being reamed to assure a tight joint.
CONNECTING ROD AND BEARINGS
OUTER RETAINER SHIMS — The connecting rod bearings are a shrink fit on the crankshaft. Keep the bearing races
together, with the outer race and its removable ring held in place. Before heating, measure the width of the bearing
area in the connecting rod and subtract from the measured width of the bearing outer race to obtain the actual shim
{98p. Then subtract .003" to .005" from the actual gap to obtain the required amount of shims to be used under the
outer retainer at final installation.
INNER RETAINER SHIMS — The width of the bearing area on the crankshaft must also be measured and subtracted
from the measured width of the bearing inner race to obtain the actual shim gap under the retainer. Install this
‘measured amount, plus or minus .001", at final assembly.
