Bearings

Inspect
- Bearings for smooth rotation after oiling them.
- Bearing rollers for wear.
- Bearing cups for wear, cracks, brinelling, and scoring.

Important:
- When replacing worn or cracked bearings and cups, make sure to replace them in sets.
- Ring gear and pinion gear for wear. If worn, replace them as a set.
- Low mileage bearings may have very small scratches and pits on the rollers and bearing cups from the initial preload. Do not replace a bearing for this reason.
