REASSEMBLY PROCEDURES FOR DRIVE END (DE) HOUSING AND HOUSING PARTS
1.
Soak new wick in 20 weight oil for several hours to allow the oil to penetrate and install into the housing.
2.
Align the cup with the wick hole, open end down, and tap it into place until it is flush with the housing. It is best to use a deep well
socket or similar devise about the same size as the outside diameter of the wick cap. Strike it with a hammer until the cup top is flush
with the casting.

pin punch which has about the same outside diameter as the armature shaft for that end with a shoulder on it about the same
outside diameter as the bushing.
Install the o'ring onto the mounting register groove.
