I just take it out drum and there is 2 bearings inner and outer and gasket. Outer bearing is good and im thinking, do i have to take both out or can i change just that inner bearing wich is bad? And how i get gasket removed and do i have to buy new gasket allways or can i use old one?
Re: Bearings question?
You must renew both bearings and the seal. It is false economy to do just the bearing that has failed and you would probably have to do the job again after a few months. In some cases you also need to renew the shaft/drum support. This is because bits of broken bearing sometimes damage the surface on which the seal runs. This surface damage will in turn wreck the new seal, leading to premature failure of the new bearings. For information on how to do the job we would need the make and model of your machine.
Re: Bearings question?
Make is Gram and model 1200 aquaspray front loader, its european stuff, made in sweden. Okay i take it both bearings out, gotta go tomorrow buy new ones. Is there any good methods to put new ones back?
Shaft is in my case good condition and its impossible to remove beacuse its welded to the drum and you cant remove it.
I think Gram is very good mark, it look inside very nice and good quality, so thats why i decided to do that bearings change.
It was not so easy job to me, but i made it 😆
Re: Bearings question?
If you can find a big long bolt and some big washers, old bearings, sockets etc. you can use the bolt to press in the new bearings. The professional tools for fitting bearings consist of various cups, collars, and spacers together with a suitable bolt but it is possible to improvise an equivalent arrangement using a bit of ingenuity.
Re: Bearings question?
I have old bearings still left and in one piece, nice method gotta try tomorrow.Thanks.
Re: Bearings question?
