Changing Hand for WTC/UC

Step 1

Remove high speed end caps.  If gaskets are removed carefully they can be reused.  Flanges may require tapping with a soft hammer to unseat them.  Avoid damage to oil seals on open end covers by lightly oiling shafts and by sliding seals on and off parallel to shafts.

Step 2

Drive worm towards closed end.  This will press out the closed end bearing race.

Step 3

Remove open end bearing race.  Drive the worm back out the open end, removing the open end bearing race.  Remove by carefully lifting it over the worm gear.

Step 4

Remove and insert worm, drive in races.  Tap in bearing races to mate with their respective bearings.

Step 5

Reassemble end caps, check for bearing end play.  Lubricate the part of the shaft coming in contact with the oil seal and the oil seal surfaces before sliding seal over shaft.  The assembled unit should turn smoothly by hand without drag, noise or excessive bearing end play.  Proper assembly is essential for unit to give normal service life.  Most Cleveland Gear units will require no shimming.
