5. How to install split taper bushing sheaves
Put the bushing loosely in the sheave and start the capscrews.
Place the assembly on the shaft. Align both edges of the sheave
with the edges of its mating sheave (example: the sheave on
the driven shaft).
Tighten the capscrews according to the instructions
furnished with the bushings.
6. How to remove split taper bushing sheaves
Remove all capscrews.
Put two of the capscrews in the tapped holes in the flange of

The threaded holes in the hub are the mates to the
non-threaded holes in the bushing.

Tighten the setscrew in the flange only enough to hold the
assembly in position.
Tighten each pull-up bolt alternately and evenly.
Recheck alignment and completely tighten the setscrew on
the shaft.
4. How to remove a sheave with a QD® hub
Place two of the pull-up bolts in the tapped holes in the sheave.
Turn the bolts alternately and evenly. They will push against the
bushing flange and act as jackscrews to break the grip between
the bushing and the hub.
