7.
Remove any metal or abrasives trapped in the
bearing grease groove and grease port, or
contaminants will be pumped into the new
bearing when you lubricate it, causing bearing
failure.
Figure 60
.
8.
Clean and inspect the bearing-block for cracks,
burrs, wear, and other damage; replace/repair
as required.
The “bearing race” should rotate inside of the
“bearing block” smoothly. If the race is loose
or wobbles inside of the bearing block, replace
the bearing block. See
Figure 61
.
9.
Insert the new bearing into the bearing-block
so when the bearing block is installed in the
sander, the grease zerk is facing forward and
the set screws and hub are on the right-side
of the bearing housing. See
Figures 57
and
61
.
10.
Slide (
DO NOT
hammer) the bearing block
and bearing onto the drum shaft.
11.
Lower the drum and bearing-block onto the
mounting studs, and install the flat washers
and the nuts. Tighten the nuts in an
alternating pattern until snug.
12.
Install and tighten the set screws.
13.
Wipe the zerk fitting clean, and lubricate
the bearing with just enough grease to
slightly seep from the dust seal and wipe
clean (these bearings are not pre-lubricated).
DO NOT
over-grease.
14.
Repeat
Steps
3
through
13
on all other
bearings that need replacement. Always
replace both bearings on the same drum.
15.
Adjust the
Drums and Pressure Rollers
as
outlined in the
Adjustments
section, on
Page

.
NOTICE
Make sure the bearing grease hole in the
bearing lines up with the grease groove in the
bearing block and that no obstructions prevent
bearing lubrication.
