Never tap on the outer race when installing a bearing on a shaft. You must use a pipe, a drift, or a socket to tap on the inner race only. Tapping on the outer race can damage the balls, the races, and the cage as all the force is transmitted through them to the inner race. Tap on the outer race when installing a bearing in to a boss. For the same reason. I hope you replaced the ceramic pump seals, they were leaking as evidenced by all the corrosion.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful. I think I am going to have to do this exact repair. You have helped me to prepare for the job by sharing the bearing information. Thanks!
The stainless steel ####-ZZ bearings don't resist moisture as well as the original rubber-sided ones (-DDU aka -DU aka -2RS). Thanks for the detailed video!
Aa said before, never tap on the outer race. If you put the bearing in a toaster oven on broil @350° for 10 minutes it will usually push on by hand. You will need heat resistant gloves. Nice work by the way.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've ordered parts and should knock this out in a couple of days thanks to you. I have one question: what size (4/6/8 inches) bearing puller are you using? Thank you in advance.
