Before inspecting:

a. Clean all parts with a suitable cleaning solvent to remove oil traces.
b. Carefully scrape or brush away deposits from holes and grooves.
c. Carefully remove gaskets from mating surfaces.
d. Dry with compressed air. Do not spin dry bearings as damage may result.

Inspect and repair each part as described. If there is doubt as to a part's serviceability, replace the part.

Bearings
a. Roller or ball

1 . Check that bearing rollers and balls are free      to turn in their cages, or that there is no      galling, scratches, or cracks. Replace      bearing if damaged.

2. Check that surfaces of inner and outer races     are free from galling, scratches, or cracks.     Replace bearing if damaged.

3. Check that radial play is not greater than     0.002 inch and end play is not greater than     0.020 inch. Replace worn bearings.

b. Throwout bearing. Check throwout bearing for     wear. Replace if worn.

c. Nonroller bearings. Check for wear. For minor     scratches, clean with fine emery or stone.     Replace if worn, cracked, or broken.
