Procedure
Install the steel ball and thrust lock washer, then the C-washers and retaining ring. Measure between thrust lock washer and C-washers. Use two C-washers of the same thickness, 3.0 mm (0.118 in), at this assembly step; unequal thickness can cause bearing failure. Select thrust lock washer to adjust end play. This is distinct from the rear bearing C-washer clearance.
