Abstract

See full text

A method of setting a bearing within a housing and a bearing cavity is disclosed. The method includes threadably advancing a threaded bushing by rotating the threaded bushing in a first rotational direction and identifying a point of contact when the threaded bushing initially contacts the bearing. Subsequently, the threaded bushing is rotated in the first rotational direction by a first predetermined rotational amount to further threadably advance in the first rotational direction so that the threaded bushing exerts a target preload on the bearing, or the threaded bushing is rotated in a second rotational direction by a second predetermined rotational amount to threadably advance the threaded bushing in a second axial direction that is opposite the first axial direction to create a target clearance between the threaded bushing and the bearing, or the threaded bushing is not further rotated to cause line-contact between the threaded bushing and the bearing.
