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

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.
