Step 1-5

Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N 1004A12) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Step 1

The 1/4” ID bearings are installed from the top side of the Bottom Plate. They are a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press.

The Tube Mount bottom plate was used for reference but assembly instructions are interchangeable between the Corner and Tube Mount versions.

Step 2

The 3” ID X-Contact Bearing will be installed from the bottom side of the Swerve X Bottom Plate. It is a tight slip fit and can be installed by hand or with an arbor press, if necessary. The bearing should sit flush with the bottom side of the plate.

Once the bearing is fully seated, use the five #10-32 x 1/4”L bolts to retain it. The bolts should be tightened until flush with the bottom side of the Bottom Plate. The image below indicates the location of the bolts in green.

Step 3

These bearings are a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The images below show the side the bearings must be installed from for all Flipped configurations.

The two 3/8" ID x 7/8" OD Flanged Bearings are a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The images below show the side the bearings must be pressed in for the Gears Above and Gears Below configurations.

The position of the 3/8” ID x 7/8” OD flanged bearing must align with the 1/4” ID x 1/2” OD radial bearing installed in step 1.

Step 4

The two 1/4" ID x 5/8" OD Flanged Bearings are a light press fit and may be pressed in by hand or with an arbor press. The side the bearings are installed in only matters for the Gears Below configuration. For this configuration, the bearing must be installed with the flange on the same side as the c-bore.

Step 5

The bearing should be a light press fit.
