Product Installation Instructions for 18x24x16mm 3 Piece Needle Roller Bearing Set

Tools Required:

1. Socket Wrench - To remove and tighten bolts.
2. Torque Wrench - Ensures proper torque specification is met during reassembly.
3. Pliers - For gripping and handling small components.
4. Screwdriver Set - For any screws that may need removal or reinstallation.
5. Bearing Puller - Helpful for the removal of old bearings without damaging surrounding components.
6. Grease or Oil - For lubrication during installation, ensuring smooth operation of bearings.
7. Clean Cloth - To clean parts before installation and wipe off excess grease.
8. Measuring Tool - To check alignment and fit of the bearings.

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and securely lifted using jack stands. Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues during work.

2. Remove Old Bearings: Use the socket wrench and pliers to remove any bolts or components obstructing access to the bearings. If bearings are tight, a bearing puller may be required.

3. Clean the Area: Wipe down the bearing housing and surrounding components with a clean cloth to remove dirt and debris.

4. Check Compatibility: Verify that the new bearings (18x24x16mm) are the correct size and design for the specific model (50-125 Ape, P2, P3).

5. Apply Grease: Add a thin layer of grease or oil to the bearing housing. This helps with initial lubrication and ensures a snug fit for the new bearings.

6. Install New Bearings: Carefully place the new needle roller bearings into their designated spots. Make sure they are aligned correctly.

7. Reassemble Components: Reattach any components or covers that were removed during the initial disassembly. Use the torque wrench to tighten bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

8. Final Checks: Ensure all tools are removed from the working area. Reconnect the battery and conduct a visual inspection to confirm everything is in place.

9. Test Operation: Start the vehicle and check for any unusual noises or issues during operation. Ensure the steering and self-locking control systems function correctly.

Important Notes:

• Always consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions and torque specifications.
• If unsure during any part of the installation process, consider seeking help from a professional technician.

By following these installation instructions, you will achieve a successful replacement of the needle roller bearings, enhancing the performance of your vehicle's steering and self-locking control system.
