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 and pinion gears for wear and replace them as a set if worn.

Important: Low mileage bearings may have very small scratches and pits on the rollers and the bearing cups from the initial preload. Do not replace a bearing for this reason.
