## Step 6

Install the Shooter Wheels into each column as shown below.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bearing Install" %}
Install the 1/2" bearing into the Bearing Roller Center Plate and secure this using #10-32 x 3/4"L bolts.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Detail View shown below is for the Right side of the Column. The same needs to be done on the Left Side without the 1/8"L Spacers.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Drill out the highlighted holes. The 3/4"L bolt must clear this and thread into the second Dearing Roller Center Plate.
{% endhint %}

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Middle Column" %}
Slide the 8"L Output Shaft as shown below and install the 4" Flywheel and Colsons as shown below and secure using a 1/2" Snap Ring.

Once the Snap Ring is installed, press in the 1/2" Rounded Hex Bearing as shown below.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 18t Pulley and 60t x 9mm Wide Belt should also be installed during this step.
{% endhint %}

## Step 9

Press the 1/2" bearing into the Shooter Hood Plate. Repeat this step for the other side. Be sure to press the bearing in from the opposite side so that the bearing flanges are on opposite sides of the plates.&#x20;

Secure the bearing using a Bearing Retention Plate and a Bearing Roller Center Plate.

{% hint style="info" %}
The image below only shows the Right Configuration of the hood plate, the same applies to the Left configuration.
