Model 46209X0C Lost the bearings on one of the spindles and it burned up the belt before I got it all shut down. Have the jack shaft out of the spindle and it looks like one of the bearings/bushings in locked on the shaft and the large one in the spindle is seized tight. Are the bearing replaceable or is it time for new spindles? Also have any put grease fittings on the spindles to be able to lube them?
Thanks
Tom
The spindle is out and dismantled so yes, the bearings can be
swapped out.
Press bearing one off the shaft, some heat may help there.
Using a brass drift, tap bearing two from the housing.
Inspect shaft and housing for surface damage where bearings sit.
Buy a new complete spindle if any doubt the surfaces are
even slightly damaged.
Where good, clean throughly all components and fit new bearings.
Very thin application of a NeverSeeze product may help dismantling
on next spindle service.
You should find any new bearing is sealed for life.
Theoreticly, greasing such units will shorten their service life.
However with some ingenuity, carefully placed passage holes,
and a threading tap, greasepoints can be added.
Just go easy in applying grease over time, it is possible to
explode (hydrallic) the bearing only because you cannot see
grease, unlike a joint or sleeve.
Trust that helps some.
