threaded into hub. Tighten the bolts to 25-40 lb-ft torque.
(4) Tie one end of a piece of lintless 1/8" cord around a 1/8" round piece of wood (or soft metal stock).
Place the wood between the teeth of gear, then wrap the cord around the periphery of the gear
several times. Attach the other end of the cord to spring scale. Maintain a
scale, 90to the axis of the hub, and note the pull, in

6 lbs. 12 ounces maximum and does not fluctuate
more than 2 lbs. 11 ounces, the idler gear and
bearing assembly are satisfactory for use.
