  1. Make sure that the bores for the sleeve bearings are free of paint and grease prior to the installation of the sleeve bearings. Coat the sleeve bearings and the bearing bores with Tooling (C) prior to the installation of the sleeve bearings in the bores. Sleeve bearings must be installed with the identification numbers toward the outside of the boom.

    Note: Make sure that the bearings are installed in the bore so that the identification numbers of the bearings are facing outward.
