Who can press new bearings on direct drive shaft?

[Dwain Ray]

Ya Lee....ya gotta drive the new bearing in place by laying the old bearing on top to drive it home....but you knew that..!

This is what i use to replace the bearings in my driveshafts. The aluminum spacer allows me to install bearings without removing the clutch magnet saving alot of time

All my experience is with sealed straight driveshafts. . As far as greasing goes i would pump grease same as i would on the vans driveshaft, till it seeps outa the seals unless told otherwise by hydramaster..

The CORRECT bearings are sealed and non-greasable

After reading all of yours and Bawb’s comments on those machines, I’d love to see a company put those back on the market

It will never happen, sadly there's no profit in building something that will last. Frankenstein was built in 1998 was refurbished 2019 and placed back in service in 2021 and should last till 2045 or so but again sadly the van its in probably will be long gone well before Frankenstein (i too will be gone,i will be 91 in2045) please read the article below sorry i had to screen shoot it. I haven't been able to send jpig files to Mikey's Board yet
