Installation, Operations & Maintenance Manual: Subject: Assembly and Disassembly With Thrust Bearing

The document provides instructions for replacing carbon bushings and assembling parts on a pump unit. It describes pressing out old bushings and installing new ones using a centered arbor press. It cautions that bushings can break if improperly installed and that the inside diameter shrinks after pressing. General assembly instructions recommend cleaning parts with acetone in a dust-free area and using new seals, gaskets and hardware during reassembly.

SUBJECT: ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY with THRUST BEARING
5.0 CARBON BUSHING REPLACEMENT
Pump units are normally equipped with carbon bushings at the locations:
Suction Bell, 138.111 Bushing, 545.115
Bowls, 112.112, 112.151 Bushing, 545.117, 545.154
Bearing Spider Housing, 383.211 Bushing, 545.212
Seal Housing, 441.401 Bushing, 545.427 (Throttle)
456.428 (Throat)
5.1 Bushing Removal
5.1.1 Remove the applicable carbon
bushing by pressing bushing or
breaking them out of their seat. Use
care to avoid housing damage.
5.2 Bushing Installation
5.2.1 Use an arbor centering tool, a
stepped arbor or mandrel and a
hydraulic press to install the
bushings. The arbor or mandrel
insures that the bushing is correctly
positioned.
5.2.2 The small diameter should be 1/16”
(1.6 mm) smaller than inside
diameter of the bushing. The large
outside diameter of the arbor
should be larger than the outside diameter of the bushing.
5.2.3 Surfaces X and Y must be parallel before and during pressing to insure correct final
fit.
5.2.4 The bushing can be pressed dry, but a dip coat of water will provide additional
lubrication. During the press, pressure must be applied continuously.
Carbon bushings can be broken if incorrectly installed. While installing the bushing do not stop and
CAUTION
start the press, use continuous motion.
The inside diameter of a carbon bushing becomes smaller after installation due to reaction of press fitting.
Wait 24 hours before measurement of inside diameter.
6.0 GENERAL ASSEMBLY
6.1 Cleanliness Assembled parts must be absolutely clean and free of oil or dust. Technical
grade acetone is recommended for cleaning machined surfaces immediately before
assembly. Air dry (use filtered, dry air) cleaned parts in a dust free area.

Acetone is extremely volatile and flammable. Work only in a well ventilated area, away from heat or
flame. A “No Smoking” rule must be strictly enforced, and sparks must be prevented.

6.2 Use New Parts Use new O-rings, gaskets, lockwashers, and retaining rings. Replace
gaskets with same material and thickness as original.6.3 Torque Values Prior to assembly,
refer to suggested torque values table as referenced within TORQUE VALUES, ADDENDUM
No. 2.
