Bearing Installation
Mounting of bearings on shafts must be done in a clean environment. Bearing and power-end life can be
drastically reduced if even very small foreign particles work their way into the bearings.
Bearings should not be removed from their protective packaging until immediately before assembly to limit
exposure to possible contamination. After the packaging is removed, bearings should only come into contact
with clean hands, fixtures, tools and work surfaces.
Note that the term “inboard bearing” refers to the bearing nearest to the casing. “Outboard bearing” refers to
the bearing nearest to the motor.
Both bearings have a slight and preferred interference fit that requires that they be pressed on the shaft with
an arbor or hydraulic press. Even force should be applied to the inner race only. Never press on the outer
race, as the force will damage the balls and races. An alternate and preferred method of installing bearings is
to heat the bearings to 200°F (93°C) in an oven or with an induction heater. Then place them quickly in
position on the shaft.
! CAUTION
Never heat the bearings above 230°F (110°C). To do so will likely cause damage to bearing and seal.

2. Install the outboard bearing retaining cover (3J), outboard angular bearing (3G) and locknut (3F) onto
the shaft (3B). *Note: Use back-to-back bearing orientation when there are two angular contact
bearings.* Then install inboard bearing (3M) onto shaft. It is recommended that a bearing heater be
used when installing bearings to avoid damage to the races. Be sure the bearing seats against the
shoulder of the shaft. If the pump is grease lubricated, hand pack the bearings with the appropriate
grease (reference Section 9.0) after the bearings are seated on the shaft.

Step 2. **Do not overtighten – Leave 1 visible thread.** Tighten actuator plate (5F) with flat cap screws
(5D) and drive screw sleeves (5E). It is recommended that “blue Loctite” be applied to the cap screws
(5D) to ensure they do not unscrew during operation. Recheck that the keyway in the shaft sleeve is
directly between the flat cap screws. Insert the key (4F) into the keyway in the shaft sleeve. Slide the
Ball Housing Assembly over the Rotating Assembly created in Step 1 and lock it with retaining ring
(5B). Adjustment may be needed to make sure that the cap screws, key and ball housing assembly fit
correctly.

Pump Leaks
Whenever leakage is encountered and before removing your Wilfley pump, determine when the leakage is
occurring: while running, or while not running. During these inspections you should try to determine the exact
origin of the leak. Special attention should be given to the shaft sleeve. Once you have determined when the
pump is leaking, refer to the guide below.

8.0 LUBRICATION
Bearing Lubrication
Oil Lubrication
Fill the frame until the oil level is approximately in the middle of the sight glass.
Wilfley recommends that the oil be changed according to the customer’s preventive maintenance program.
Every service can be different, which varies the length of time between oil changes. If a maintenance
program is already in place, follow that. If no program is in place, Wilfley recommends changing the pump oil
once every 3 months.
Grease Lubrication
Bearings should be hand packed during assembly and reassembly.
Further lubrication should be done per periodic servicing. Reference Section 6.2.
Recommended grease: Grease SRI #2
