Bearing Cleaning and Inspection
1. Using a clean cloth, wipe the carbon dust from the two bearings. Inspect bearings by spinning them by
hand and checking for both axial (A) and radial (B) play (Figure 12-8, Page 12-5).
2. Replace the bearing if it is noisy, does not spin smoothly, or has excessive play. Check the bearings and
replace if rusted, worn, cracked, or if there is an abnormal color change in the metal of the bearing. Bear-
ings should be replaced if there is extensive wear or pitting on the balls or on the rolling surfaces. Do not
remove the bearings unless they are to be replaced.
