Removing the Roller Bearings and Shaft
Always remove and replace the bearings and washers as a set. It is not necessary to replace the
shaft if you are replacing the bearings. However, if you are replacing the shaft, you must also
replace the bearings and washers.
8. Remove the snap ring from one end of the roller (see Diagram 6.6).
9. Hold the roller in a vertical position 3–4 inches above a block of wood. The block of wood
must be on a hard solid surface such as a floor. (see Diagram 6.7).
10. Hold the roller with the end of the roller that has had the snap ring removed upward, and
drop the roller onto the block of wood. The roller may need to be dropped several times to
drive the bearing out of the roller.
11. Remove the bearing from the opposite end of the roller in right same manner. Care must be
taken to keep the roller shaft in the bearing because the shaft is no longer being retained on
the lower end of the roller as it is dropped onto the block of wood.
