Removing a Tsubaki Locking Device
1. For reference, write the numbers of the locking holes on the sprocket. The screw
in locking hole 6 is the only screw that is not next to an unlocking hole. See
Figure 5.
2. Remove all of the screws from the locking holes by turning each screw 30 degrees
at a time in the pattern shown in Figure 5.
Turning more than 30 degrees at one time may damage the taper rings in the
locking device. Damaged taper rings may keep the locking device from
functioning properly.
Figure 5: Tsubaki Screw Removal Pattern
3. Lubricate five of the screws and all five unlocking holes. See Figure 5 for the
location of the unlocking holes.
4. Tighten the five lubricated screws in the unlocking holes by hand.
NOTICE
The lubricant should not NOT contain silicone or molybdenum
sulfide.
Lubricants with silicone or molybdenum sulfide may damage the
locking device.

5. Finish tightening the five screws by using the following guidelines.
• Tighten screws 30 degrees at a time in the pattern shown in Figure 6 until you
reach 30 ft-lbs of torque with each screw.
• Do not exceed 30 ft-lbs of torque with any screw.
• Do not tighten past the minimum distance indicated in Figure 7. Tightening
past this minimum distance may damage the locking device.
While tightening the screws, the torque should suddenly lighten twice. This
indicates that both taper rings are unlocked. If the torque does not lighten, repeat
step 5, but turn each screw less than 30 degrees at a time.

Figure 7: Tsubaki Screw Tightening Distance
6. Once the taper rings have unlocked, remove the locking device and drive sprocket
from the drive shaft.
7. Proceed based on whether you are replacing or reinstalling a locking device.
• If you are replacing a locking device, retain the screws as spares and discard
the locking device. Skip to page 11.
• If you are reinstalling the existing locking device, retain the screws and
locking device. Skip to page 11.

Removing a Fenner Locking Device
1. Remove all screws from their locking holes shown in Figure 8. Check the screws
and threads to make sure they are not damaged.
Figure 8: Fenner Screws in Locking Holes
2. Flatten the ends of five screws. Lightly chamfer the ends of the five screws so that
the screws have a slight taper.
Flattening and chamfering the screws prevents damage and allows you to
remove them from the clamp collars as you remove the locking device.
3. Place the five chamfered screws into the unlocking holes of clamp collar A.
Clamp collar A is identified in the cross-section view shown in Figure 9.
Unlocking hole locations are colored in light blue in Figure 9.
The unlocking holes of clamp collar A have threads near the front of clamp
collar A.

4. Support the drive sprocket so that it does not tilt and deform the locking device.
5. Release the locking device by using the following steps.
a) Tighten screw 1 in Figure 10 a half of a turn.
b) Proceed to tighten each screw one half turn in the order shown in Figure 10.
After tightening all screws one full turn, clamp collar A may not appear to
have moved even though the screws may seem tight. This condition is
normal. Continue with the procedure.

5. Torque the screws in the locking holes by using the following steps.
a) Check the sprocket to see if the numbers of the locking holes are written on it.
• If the sprocket has locking hole numbers written on it, make sure that the
screws in the locking holes align with the numbers shown in Figure 16.
• If the sprocket does not have locking hole numbers written on it, write the
numbers on the sprocket. The screw in locking hole 6 is the only screw
that is not next to an unlocking hole. See Figure 16.
b) Set the torque wrench to 7.4 ft-lbs (10 Nm). Tighten each screw 30 degrees at
a time in the pattern shown in Figure 16. Continue to turn each screw 30
degrees at a time until torque is reached.
