Bearing Adapter Grip: T27
Installation:

- Secure the Upper Spindle (B21-U) to prevent the wheel from spinning.
- Thread the collar onto the shaft of the upper spindle. Tighten until hand tight, then press up on the collar using a drift pin or flat head screw driver until the collar will tighten further.
- Attach the grip to the collar of the bearing adapter (B27-A).
- Tighten the adapter collar clockwise until tight. The upper spindle should lock in place or be hard to rotate.
- Inspect the wheel for the best match to the locking ring located under the collar.
- Note: the adapter may need to be tightened or loosened to fit properly.
- Press the locking ring tooth into the grove of the collar using a drift pin.
- Unlock the upper wheel by hitting the upper spindle with a 4×4 two or three times. After hitting the spindle it should spin freely.
Removal:
- Remove the locking ring tooth from the collar of the bearing adapter.
- Attach the grip to an air gun or a heavy duty socket wrench.
