1. Remove the Cover/Idler Gear Assembly

Note: On pumps with relief valves, the cover can be removed with the relief valve still mounted onto the cover. Prior to removing the
cover, the general position should be marked in relationship to the housing. Once done, remove the cover bolts and the cover.
Remove the cover gasket.
WARNING!
When removing the cover, the idler gear will generally stay on the pin. Avoid tilting the cover downward as the idler may slide off,
causing injury or damage.

2. Remove the Ball Bearing Assembly

Remove the bearing lock washer and locknut.


Remove the outer bearing cap hex head bolts and the bearing/bearing caps assembly.
Note: If dirt or rust has gotten between the bearing carrier and the bearing/bearing cap assembly, it may be difficult to remove.

3. Remove the Packing

Remove the gland nuts and washers. Remove the gland and packing.
Note: Steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 can be omitted only if the ¼” NPT pipe plug that is on the O.D. of the bracket (shown on the rib) is already
lined up with the required ports (suction or discharge). However, if the viscosity of the application is 7500 SSU (1650 cst) or greater, the
orifice plug in the bracket should be removed and the housing will have to be removed to gain access to the orifice plug.

4. Remove Tthe Rotor/Shaft Assembly from the Housing/Bracket

Push the end of the shaft towards the housing and remove the rotor/shaft assembly.

5. Remove the Bracket

Adequately support the bottom of the bracket and the housing ( on the cover side) so they will not fall.
Remove the bolts that hold the bracket to the housing.
On pumps that do not have a cast integral foot, remove the bolts that attach the foot to the bearing carrier.
Remove the hex head bolts that attach the bracket to the bearing carrier and the housing gasket.

6. Flush Arrangements

Seals in the out-board locations require the seal to be flushed. Tuthill’s standard bracket provides a hole drilled in it to provide this flush
arrangement without any external connections. No external flush connections are required. To provide the internal seal flush, you need
to replace the pipe plug with the suck back orifice.
Position the bracket so that the vent hole will align with the hole in the housing to provide the desired flush arrangement.
If the viscosity of the application is 7500 SSU or greater, the orifice plug should be removed.

7. ASSEMBLE THE BRACKET/BEARING CARRIER TO THE HOUSING AND INSTALL THE ROTOR

Install the new housing gasket.


Attach the bracket to the bearing carrier with the hex head bolts.
Attach the bracket to the housing with the hex head bolts.
Slide rotor/shaft assembly into the bracket

8. INSTALL THE LOCATING PIN IN THE SHAFT

Remove the plug in the 1/2” NPT hole in the bracket.


Using needle nose pliers (or similar tool), install the locating pin by inserting it through the hole in the bracket into the hole in the shaft.
Install the ½ “ NPT plug.

9. INSTALL THE LOCATING COLLAR

Position the collar so the side with the slot for the locating pin is towards the housing. Slide the collar over the shaft until it engages with
the locating pin.
Note: (for G050/090 type 9T mech. seals only): Install collar dedicated for type 9T seals.

10. INSTALL THE STATIONARY SEAT INTO THE GLAND.

The gland that is used for the packing is also used for the out-board mechanical seal. To use it for the out-board mechanical seal, flip
the gland end for end.
Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the stationary seat and then press the seat into the gland.

11. INSTALL THE MECHANICAL SEAL ONTO THE SHAFT.

Lightly polish the shaft in order to remove any minor defects.


Place the seal head on the rotor shaft. A light lubricant will assist. Proper location of the seal is with the back portion against the collar.
If the seal head has setscrews, tighten them once the seal head is properly located. Tuthill recommends seal lubricant P-80 from
International Products Corp. for Viton seals. Soapy water can be used to lubricate PTFE seals as well as stationary seat o-rings.
CAUTION!
The highly polished seal faces should not be touched during the assembly process as any minor scratch could result in leakage once in
service.
Note: (for G015/030 type 9T mech. seals only): Before installing the seal onto the shaft, you need to place the spacer as shown below.

12. INSTALL THE GLAND

Slide the gland gasket/o-ring and gland over the shaft and position it onto the studs on the bracket. Install the washers and nuts and
tighten.

13. BALL BEARING ASSEMBLY

Install the bearing/bearing cap assembly by slipping it over the shaft end and into the bearing carrier. The bearing may have a slight
press on the shaft so the bearing may have to be tapped on. Ensure that it bottoms out on the shaft shoulder. The bearing must be
pressed on the inner race, not the outer race. Pressing on the outer race could damage the bearing.
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
CAUTION!
Do not use excessive force when pressing the bearing onto the pump shaft, as it could damage the mechanical seal.
Install the bearing lock washer and locknut. After the locknut is tightened, bend one of the lock washer tabs into the locknut slot, to
ensure that the locknut cannot vibrate loose.
