Casting bolt hole is machined cylindrical. The tapper sleeve is cylindrical to the OD and is tappered to the ID of the sleeve. The tapper conforms to mating tapper on the bolt.

You will be able to see a large end of the bolt and a small end.

The sleeve is inserted so the flange rests on the counter bore seat.Some gears have counter bores machined on both cast sides of the hole. If this is the case one side will have the spots faces of the hole stamped TOP, the tapper sleeve should be inserted on the end marked TOPPoint out sleeve flange or shoulder.The sleeve should slide into the hole and seat completely on the counter bore shoulder. This should be done with minimal force. If force is required to seat sleeve the gear segments will need to be better positioned by site prior to installing the sleeve.Torque bolt at this time. Do not over torque bolt, this may result in sleeve damage.Thread protection only do not torque this nut.
