completing the installation of the washpipe assembly.
12. Apply 6 to 8 pumps of grease to the grease fittings.
13. Return the pinion gear to its stored position and secure it

Washpipe Assembly Alignment
Satisfactory packing life depends on good washpipe alignment. Use the following
procedure to check sleeve-to-gooseneck support alignment:
1. Attach an indicator base to the gooseneck support and place the indicator at the
top of the sleeve.
2. Raise and lower the sleeve and record the total indicator reading.
3. Attach a magnetic indicator base or an improvised holding fixture to the sleeve or
packing box.
4. Rotate the sleeve 360° and record the TIR.
Washpipe Assembly Tolerances
Use the following procedure to check washpipe assembly tolerances:
1. Shim the gooseneck support to obtain a required bearing clearance of 0.001 to
0.003 inch.
2. Check the clearance by raising and lowering the sleeve. The maximum allowable
misalignment at the gooseneck support bore is 0.008 inch TIR. The maximum
allowable misalignment at the gooseneck pilot is 0.010 inch TIR. The maximum
allowable misalignment after complete assembly of the washpipe assembly is
0.010 inch TIR.

Inspection may indicate misalignment exceeding

recommended limits. The packing box assemblies are
designed to accommodate misalignment of the sleeve to
the gooseneck and can operate with some excessive
misalignment. However, to achieve maximum packing life,
maintain the misalignment at the washpipe within the
recommended limits.
1. Remove the washpipe assembly and replace
the grease fitting.
2. Check the mainshaft axial movement by
applying an upward force to the mainshaft and
measuring the amount of axial movement with a
dial indicator.
3. If axial shaft movement is not .001 in. to .003
in., remove the bearing retainer and adjust the Washpipe
number of shims under the bearing retainer as Grease Fitting
required to allow .001 in. to .003 in. of axial Replace
shaft movement (end play) with the bearing
retainer capscrews tightened to the required
torque depending on the size of the capscrew
(refer to the Initial Installation Procedure for
proper torque requirements).

If necessary, reinstall washpipe or realign
the gooseneck. Check washpipe
alignment as follows (see illustration on
following page):
1. Install dial indicator base on packing
box. Adjust dial indicator to contact the
washpipe approximately one inch above
the packing box.
2. Rotate main shaft through one
revolution, noting the minimum and
maximum readings on the dial indicator.
Subtract the minimum reading from the
maximum reading to obtain the Total
Indicated Runout (TIR). Maximum
allowable TIR is 0.007 inch.
3. If out of specification, check
gooseneck alignment.
Inspect main shaft and mainshaft-to-
gooseneck alignment as described in the
Every Six Months Inspection procedure.
The proper installation sequence allows
the packing and washpipe to align to each
other, and ensures that both the
washpipe nut and the packing box
engage their pilots. Follow proper
installation procedures (refer to the Initial
Installation Procedure).
Improper torque prevents metal-to-metal
contact between the flat surfaces of the
spacers. When pressure is applied, it will
extrude the packing between the spacers.
Follow proper torquing procedures as
described in the Initial Installation
Procedure.
Too much grease prevents metal-to-metal
contact between the flat surfaces of the
spacers during operation. The grease can
sustain a hydrostatic pressure that resists
torque during the installation.
During operation the grease gradually
leaks out resulting in loosening of the
packing box. Follow proper greasing
procedure during reassembly and check
for proper spacer contact during
installation (refer to the Initial Installation
Procedure).
