replace the complete set. Determine the extent of
wear by comparison with a new vane.
(6) Gears and Bearings.
(a) Inspect

bearings for excessive wear or other damage.
(b) Inspect all gears for chipped teeth,
excessive wear, or other damage.

cause rapid wear so the bushing must be replaced.
5-12. Drifter Drill, Reassembly and Installation
a. Reassembly.
(1) Coat all parts with a light film of oil
before reassembly. With the exception of press fit
bushings, all parts go together easily and will not
be forced.
(2) Reassemble the drifter drill in the reverse
of numerical sequence as illustrated in figure 5-8.
(3) When assembling the torque com-
pensator counter (fig. 5-11) apply rock drill oil on
both sides of friction plates. Tighten locknut until
springs are flattened out completely. Then, back
off locknut approximately one flat until the set
screw hole matches the flat on the gear hub.
Install setscrew using Loctite Retaining Com-
pound. Lock screw tightly and place a drop of
Loctite on both back and front of setscrew. Bend
ears of lockwasher around locknut as shown in
figure 5-11.
(4) To assemble the dual rotation unit refer
to figure 5-11 and proceed as follows:
