1. Operate the pre-lube pump to lubricate the bearings.<br />

2. Drain the oil from the crankcase.<br />

3. Remove the coupling center member. Remove the coupling hub. In order to<br />

remove the coupling hub it may be necessary to heat it. If the coupling hub is not<br />

removed, the drive end cover cannot be removed separately, and will need to be<br />

lifted out with the crankshaft.<br />

CAUTION!: DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES WITHOUT PROPER INSULATION TO<br />

PREVENT INJURY.<br />

4. Remove the top covers, gaskets, top cover and main bearing spacer bars, and<br />

drive end cover. Tip: If the spacer-bar cap screws are difficult to loosen, use a 12<br />

point hammer wrench. Remove the RTD’s/thermocouples from the main bearing<br />

caps and place them so they will not be damaged when the crankshaft is being<br />

removed.<br />

5. Be careful not to damage the sharp corners on each end of the top of the crankcase.<br />

These corners form the junction between the end covers, top covers, and<br />

base; thus they must be kept sharp and unmarred to prevent oil leaks.<br />
