The bearings to be renewed should be next removed from the crankcase this should be done with a bearing puller of some kind to prevent damage to the crankcase On page 29 service tool section is shown a very simple and effective puller designed to remove and install Hudson and Essex camshaft bearings in the least possible time and without injury to bearings or crankcase 67 Motor Group 67 When drawing the new bearings into position it is very important that the oil holes register with the oil holes in the crankcase if they do not new holes should be drilled into the bearings after assembling The bearings should next be drilled and pinned against movement with brass dowel pins which should be a tight fit in both bearings and crankcase 68 If an expansion type line reamer is used to ream the bearings care should be taken to ream them from 001 to 003 larger than the camshaft journals so that there will be sufficient clearance for lubrication After the bearing fitting and reaming has been completed the crankcase should be thoroughly cleaned of chips and dirt before reassembling of the motor is started 69 Place camshaft in position in crankcase remove crankcase bearing caps clean and spread oil film on bearings and drop crankshaft in place Replace shims and bearing caps being careful to put the shims back in their proper places and the center bearing caps on their studs so the serial numbers will be on the ends nearest a corr
