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

Step 14

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 1/2" ID x 1 1/8" OD Radial Bearing that is pressed directly into the wheel and not the bevel gear must sit .034" deeper than flush. If the bearing is not pressed all the way into the wheel, the bevel gears will not mesh properly.

The 1/2" ID x 1 1/8" OD Radial Bearing will come pressed into the wheel.

Step 15

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.

While the image below may show the Non-Flipped configuration, this step is the same for all Swerve X configurations.
