this is not quite the sound that this table saw supposed to make well it
definitely wasn't the blade not the motor just spinning the upper on its own
it feels rough you can even hear it spin so one of those bearings is worn
out so how to get this part out I think this whole shebang needs to come out
because those bearings are going to be pressed fit in there but I've discovered
there's a set screw back here so if I crank this down I might be able to take
this set screw out and then maybe take this pin out and bring the whole bracket
out of the saw without thinking about everything
hmm it is starting to budge a little bit here this still turns easily but doesn't
make a bit of noise and the other bearing this is probably the one that's
gone bad except that one turns smooth so I guess
it's this one now the problem is getting one of these bearings off is extremely
difficult there press fit on there
oh that thing is not moving it's moving
so I bought some new bearings these didn't cost very much now the challenge
is how to press these on there without a press and without damaging him I can
just use the old bearings as spacers I just rig something up to hold the
wrench in the arbor something's tight on here oh this part here was not supposed
to get pressed on there so this sleeve was starting hit a shoulder in there so
I couldn't press any further with that I made a wooden spacer you know that
bearing for a spacer I can't use a bearing down there because the otherwise
it'll get pressed on the thick part and that should work for pressing on
now I just need to press it onto the final sleeve down there so I think I've
got the first bearing fully seated down there now this needs to go in here with
this spring washer behind it I used one of the old barracks to pull against
while pressing the shaft and the front bearing back in but unfortunately ended
up pressing that old bearing into the mount as well so had to extract that
again now to get this old bearing out again which I accidentally pressed in
now with that other bearing out this spacer goes between the two bearings and
then the new bearing on here that needs to press onto the shaft and I'll use a
little bearing again to help press it in
and now this ring for retaining the fact bearing and this spacer here now this
nut does come loose on me from time to time I'm gonna saw so I should tighten
it up real good while I have it out the next tricky part is to get this thing
around this part again and you get this spring washer in there at the same time
which is going to be very tight to squeeze in
okay having pushed out through that means my spring washer is centered and
unfortunately can't get this in from the top so I have to type anything below and
it's hard enough to get a good view of what I'm doing myself so there's a stop
for how far up the blade will go and the way I put it in I was passed this rack
and pinion which means I'm above that stop and unfortunately I couldn't go
past it now I'm on the wrong side of it but if I think of this screw I figure I
should be able to back it up and then put the screw back in
that's sounding much better and I better not forget to tighten that set screw so
I don't lose the pin that's a much better sound
