Well..., let's hope they are OK.. These are grade 5 screws. I kinda' surmised they hold the bearing retainer plate in place, until the disc housing is in place. Only to keep the retaining plate from moving out, and possibly the seal dropping in the groove, between the splines, and smooth bore, where the seal rides. The screws turned out/broke loose, with a large screwdriver, with vice-grips on the handle. So they hardly had any torque on them. And nothing stated in the shop manual, about torque specs on them. Where as the nuts on the studs are torqued to 80-90 ft. lbs., and should release any torque on the screws.. That's one of those things, where I would love to talk to the guy that designed it.. Why the groove..? And like, why wasn't the smooth bore say like an 1/8" larger than the splines, and save tons of seals from getting ruined being installed. So far, this is the first thing I've questioned, with working on it, as far as ease, and smarts building something. I'm used to working on IH's, and at least up into the 1960's models, things were designed to be easily serviced. Like maybe a LOT of input from mechanics that would be working on it. Where as on my 180 Massey I put new brakes, hydraulic pumps, and a few other items on, for a winter project... There were many things I ran across that I asked myself... What were they thinking..??
