The Shafer Tri-Roller Portable Swaging Tool is
simple to set-up and operate. Only a small hand
wrench is required.
Begin by placing the bearing into the
housing and inserting the roller fixture pilot
into the bearing until the rollers set against
the lip of the bearing groove.
Mount the locating fixture on the opposite
side of the bearing threading the bolt of the
locating fixture into the pilot of the roller
fixture until the entire assembly is snug
against the lip of the bearing grove.
Rotate the roller fixture by hand to insure
there are no restrictions.
Next, turn the locating fixture nut
approximately 5 degrees and rotate the roller
fixture several revolutions or until there is
no resistance. Repeat this sequence until the
bearing lip is properly swaged.
Then, disassemble the unit by unscrewing
the locating fixture bolt and flip-flop
locating and roller fixture and repeat the
swaging procedure on the opposite side of the
bearing.
