These rubber sealed bearings are a standard size part #698 - 2RS. I bought a pack of 10 from Fast Eddy Bearings (in the USA if I recall correctly) in 2019 @ $1.20 per bearing part #TFE 212. Fast Eddy also had a stainless steel bearing for $10 per bearing. SS next time for me. Karl
Nice video - thanks! - But at the start you get your screwdriver between the rubber seal and the top bearing. Isn't failure of that rubber seal the reason the bearings failed in the first place? - remembering that the contents of the blender often end up under pressure, and it's asking a lot of the seals on the 'sealed' bearings not to allow some seepage of the corrosive mix into the bearing. So how do you replace that top rubber seal? Any thoughts?
I am having no confidence and difficulty removing the second bearing. This video has given me more confidence to complete the job. I like this machine - it is very convenient and well-designed. I have a Bamix which is great but can be slightly messy - still good though. I don't think the Bullet is good for making hommus as it is too gluggy - I will stay with the Bamix for this. UPDATE: I finally found a bearing store in Wingfield that had the correct size. In other stores, you had to wait two weeks- out of stock- plus a postage charge to get them interstate. I carefully pressed them back in using a vice. Works like a dream now and is a lot quieter. Unfortunately, the bearings didn't last long - you need heavy-duty types - I was sold cheap ones.
Paul unless you just like doing this kind of thing, it's only $13, which includes shipping & handling, to replace the whole assembly through Nutribullet. No labor involved & less time consuming. They said it's meant to be replaced every 6 months. Although mine lasted for years before having to just replace it for the first time.
As the bearings have been washed due to fluid getting in did you replace the seal to stop it happening again? and if you did where did you get the seal from as you only link to the bearings thanks Bob-UK
Ojalá fuera tan sencillo sacar esos dos baleros.. esas aspas de Nutribullet, están hechas para cambiar completas . Y no se diga cuando se pega el perno de las aspas al balero . No hay forma de quitar. .. ni con prensa de 20 ton, pude quitar aspas sin dañar el cuerpo plástico. No hubo lubricante que aflojara..
Only do this with top quality SS bearings. I tried this with a cheap set from Amazon, reused the old seals and the result was *worse* than the original, leaked allot more and noisier.
its a standard off the shelf bearing cheap as chips 8x19x6mm or 698 2RS the rs2 means two rubber seals eBay item number:252673443937 approx 4.37 usd for 5 items assuming all the nutribullets are installed with all the same bearings Brett
Yes, I think your right, when your asking a rubber seal to be liquid tight, on a revolving shaft. I had No liquid come through on these bearings, but it did leak on the original ones which caused the problems.The bearings have a rubber seal as well.
Just order a new part. Trying to get it apart is near impossible without breaking it. Save yourself some time and a headache and just buy a new blade base.
Just a quick update on the bearings, The ones I fitted in the video did not last.They do SKF bearings but I do not know if these would be better or last !
