Top Bearing Replacement
If the inner race is secure, use an arbor press to
push the top bearing out of the breaker. If the inner
race has separated from the bearing, replace the
breaker.
Insert a new bearing in the breaker, check for
orientation:
The top of the bearing has a wider inner race and a
narrower outer race than the bottom.
Replace the "O" ring in the breaker.
Push the bearing in, push only on the outer race.
