  1. Place the bearing in the small end of the thruster cone and press it in enough to allow room for the bearing spacer.

  2. Align the bearing spacer so that the side with the center recess is towards the bearing.

  3. Place the bearing spacer in the small end of the thruster cone.

  4. Press the bearing and spacer into the thruster cone. Make sure the bearing and bearing spacer are seated all of the way into the cone. You may need to use a press to ensure complete insertion. Do not press too hard to crush the bearing or damage the cone.
