6. Remove spindle and replace bearings inside
bearing housing. If you need pointers regard-
ing bearing replacement, call Technical
Support.
7. To slide housing back in, reverse the
procedure. Make sure hex bolt is tight-
ened securely.
8. Close access door.
5. Bearing housing will drop down. If you need
to spread spindle slide casting more, use a
flat head screwdriver.
Carefully spread the casting to reduce the
risk of the bearing housing falling and
pinching fingers. To reduce damage, place
a pad underneath the housing. The casting
will break if too much pressure is applied.
Should a bearing fail, your shaper will develop a
noticeable rumble, worse so when the machine is
put under load. If the bad bearing is not replaced,
it will eventually seize—possibly doing damage
to the machine. Bearings are standard sizes and
can be replaced through Grizzly.
