## Step 1

The 3.5” ID X-Contact Bearing will be installed from the bottom side of the Swerve X2 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 3/8”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.
