Rebuilding a GMC 6-71 Blower Part 4 |
Blower Assembly 101
|
 Once the cover is in place we slid out the guides and plastic seal protectors and it's time to bolt it on.
|
|
 Remember you're working with aluminum, so be carefull not to over-torque these. We used stainless bolts for this application since there is no real load on the end plate. Stainless bolts are only about grade 2.
|
|
 Now we'll turn it around and do the front the same way, applying a line of gasket seal first. Note the seals are already in place in the cover.
|
|
 The front cover is slid on carefully, just as we did the rear cover. |
|
 The front cover has two end plate retainer screws that are used for assembly purposes. Don't overlook these.
|
|
 The front bearings are now tapped in place with a hammer and a bearing slide press until they are fully seated. These bearings are a high load, double roller bearing, and are lubed with the front case gear oil.
