6. Position LRT-37-011/2 thrust button onto 

viscous coupling splines.

7. With assistance, press the splined end of the 

viscous coupling unit through the support 
bearing. Take care that the viscous coupling 
does not drop when free of the support bearing.

8. Remove  viscous coupling assembly from 

press.

Refit

1. Clean flinger, bearing journal, splines and 

support bearings.

2. Ensure that cavities between bearing and outer 

shrouds are packed with Texaco Novatex EP2 
grease.

3. With assistance, position viscous coupling 

assembly onto press bed and locate the press 
bars onto collar on viscous coupling as shown.

4. Position LRT- 60-010/1 onto bearing inner 

race, and with assistance, press support 
bearing onto viscous coupling.

5. Remove  viscous coupling assembly from 

press.

6. Spin support bearing to confirm true running.
7. Fit front propeller shaft.

3. Note the fitted position of the support bearing 

on the viscous coupling.

CAUTION: When removing and refitting any 
components to viscous unit, full support 
must be given using the flange adjacent to 
the splines. Under no circumstances should 
any load be applied through the viscous 
unit bearings.

4. Position press bars to support bearing as 

shown, taking care that the press bars are not 
positioned on the steel flinger.
