Step 12-14

Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate (Vibra-TITE) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Step 12

Insert the 45T Bevel Gear by either tapping it in with a dead blow hammer or using an arbor press.

Be sure to align the bolt holes in the Aluminum Swerve Wheel with the tapped holes in the 45T Bevel Gear.

The Wheel Drive Axle is symmetric. The orientation it is assembled in does not matter.

The locations of the bolts are marked out in green in the image below.

The 3/8" ID x 7/8" OD Radial Bearing that is pressed directly into the wheel and not the bevel gear must sit flush. If the bearing is not pressed all the way into the wheel, the bevel gears will not mesh properly.

Step 13

When installing the Wheel Assembly, be sure the 45T Bevel Gear and 15T Bevel Gear are on the same side.

It is easier to install the tread on the wheel before installing the wheel in the module.

Step 14

Apply Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease to all gears after final assembly to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear during use. Once greased, rotate and spin the wheel to distribute the grease evenly before powering up.

After running gearbox for 15-30 minutes, reapply a light amount of grease. Reapply as needed.
