I use a small electric oven and warm the bearing to 150-180F, she'll drop right into position.. If some assistance is needed, brass drift only on the inner race. I really like these videos to share with my younger techs.
Is there a specific grease that’s best? Also if I grease till it comes out of the ends does the pump have to be running there also? Thank you for your videos I’m learning and appreciate your help.
I can tell you got plenty of experience. That being said, i still wince when you seated the bearings. I've done it like that, but not my preferred method. Nice vid either way
The waffle spring has nothing to do with bearing lube. The back bearing is the floating or expansion bearing your front bearing is your thrust bearing. The thrust bearing is loaded when pump starts due to axial thrust. The rear bearing is allowed to float as shaft expands or contracts due to temp. The spring washer loads the bearing.
What if you use a bigger diameter pipe to set the new bearings, if the pipe just fits over the shaft and rests on the inner ring, then you could apply pressure more evenly and not have to rock it back and forth it would just go strait down
What if your assymbly has the locknut? Is it reverse thread. Is there a speicial tool to fit in the 4 notches or a couple large pipe wrenches to break loose?
I would imagine that if you used that puller to reseat the bearing, it would be quicker than using the hammer and less potential damage. When doing it, use the old bearing on top of the new one to avoid damaging the outer race of the new bearing. Just 2 cent suggestion, I've never done it before.
Really need to consider using a pipe the size of inner bearing race to hammer in the bearings. Also I would place shaft vertically on table and would not want to scratch it up in a vise.
Thanks for posting this video, I show this video to my class as a what not to do. #Local250 ALL THE WAY

Bearing inside easy going

FYI I use this video in my pump rebuild class. Its got a few common mistakes i show my class
Lmao you mention the mistakes but don’t care to explain

+big pappy Not sure which bearing assembly you have. If you'd like to call Tom, feel free to give him a call at 1877-775-7705.

Casing bearing tight no freely rotate
OMG, if I installed bearing like that I would have my ass FIRED. Never hit bearings with a hammer.
Have you used a ratchet before pal?
Guess he’s never used a bearing heater
