# Assembly

## Assembly Prep

Refer back to the [Individual Components page](/welcome/system-and-structure/bearing-blocks/general-info/individual-components.md) to ensure that all necessary parts are located before starting assembly steps.

#### Tools Required For Assembly

* Allen Key - 1/8"

## Basic Assembly

{% hint style="success" %}
Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate ([Vibra-TITE](https://wcproducts.com/products/threadlocker)) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1

Slide the Clamping Bearing Blocks onto the tube. Make sure the tube has a clearance hole or slot for the shaft before assembly.

{% endtabs %}

### Step 2

Thread the four #10-32 x 1.500" L Button Head Bolts through the clearance block and into the tapped block.

{% hint style="info" %}
Longer bolts will be needed if you are clamping around tubing that is wider than 1".
{% endhint %}

{% endtabs %}

## Motor Mounting

In order to mount a motor to the 2.5" Bearing Blocks, use the two .375" OD x .125" depth c-bore holes.

{% hint style="info" %}
The 2" Bearing Blocks are not able to have motors mounted to them.
