The parts for this step are in Packs 1 and 2. Make sure you use the precision washers (EM-W5P) from Pack 1, not ordinary washers from other packs.
| Item | Part Number | Part Description | Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| For each wheel | |||
| 1 | MW1 | V-wheel sleeve | 1 |
| 2 | G5 | 5 × 16 × 5 mm bearing | 2 |
| 3 | W5Pa | 5 mm precision washer | 1 |
Lay one bearing on a flat surface. Push a V-wheel sleeve over it. The parts are designed to force-fit, so push firmly straight down. Thread this on a long M5 bolt, bearing side first, followed by a precision washer and the second bearing. Place the second bearing on a flat surface, and push the V-wheel sleeve over it too. Make sure both bearings are in as far as they will go. Remove the bolt.
If the V-wheel does not rotate smoothly, see Troubleshooting.
Repeat 16 times (single X rail) or 20 times (dual X rail).
