MK5i Swerve Module — Assembly Guide | full step-by-step assembly of the MK5i swerve module

https://www.gobarnet.com/ 🔧 *MK5i Swerve Module — Assembly Guide (Hands-On Video)* In this video I walk through the full step-by-step assembly of the MK5i swerve module. The procedures shown follow the step list in the photo: from bearing and gear subassemblies to encoder, wheel and motor installation. Watch for close-ups of critical fits and alignment checks. Highlights (short summary) • Steps 1–7: Housing, bearing installation, idler gear subassembly and shift-plate installation.   • Steps 8–13: Main steering gear subassembly, intermediate gear work and preparation of 15T bevel gear.   • Steps 14–18: Wheel subassembly, wheel mount and axle screw installation.   • Steps 19–23: Steering double gear, drive double gear, housing and encoder installation plus encoder cover fit.   • Steps 24–28: Steering pinion gear, steering motor installation, drive motor and drive pinion installation, final swerve module assembly.   • Final section: Changing the drive gear ratio and short tips for final testing and calibration. Quick assembly tips (best practices shown in the video) • Torque bolts to spec — avoid over-tightening on plastic or soft parts.   • Install bearings in the correct orientation and keep bearing seats clean.   • Align the encoder magnet precisely — slight misalignment causes read errors.   • After installing gears, check backlash and free rotation — correct any binding or scraping.   • Ensure motor pinions fully seat and locking screws are secured.   • Do a manual spin test after assembly; if you feel binding or unusual resistance, disassemble and inspect.
