HINT: When the matchmarks have disappeared, do the fol-
lowing procedure.
(1) Install the inner race to the cage so that the indented
bevelled part of the inner race is on the opposite side to
the bevelled top of the cage.
(2) Install the outer race so that the indented side of the out-
er race is facing the same side as the bevelled surface
of the cage.
(3) Match the narrow projections of the inner race with the
wide projections of the outer race.
(b) Tilt the cage and inner race to the side and insert the balls one
by one.
NOTICE: When the cage and inner race are tilted over,
support the joint with your hand to prevent the balls from
falling out.
