Mount the paper gasket with you favorite gasket sealer. And slip the
rear main plate assembly on to the crank end. |

If you are installing the crank, line the front bearing up with the
front bearing plate. |

Turn the engine flywheel side up. Install the 4 bolts in the plate
to help keep things aligned. Recheck crank alignment then use a
block of wood and hammer to tap the front crank bearing into the
plate. |

Continue using the block of wood to drive the plate home. |

Coat the bearing plate retaining bolts with thread compound. I used
Yamabond. |

Using the 12mm socket and ratchet, install the bolts using a star
pattern for even seating. |

All done. I could not find any torque values for these bolts. The
thread compound will prevent backing out. |

Now you are ready to reinstall the crank C-ring. |

A 5 second job with the right tool. |

Rear bearing plate and crank now installed. |
