Happy New Year Friends! Awhile back I had questions regarding "oiled"bearings. I've had trouble locating these in the correct size. I don'tmind turning down the outside of the material for a fit but hesitate turningthe inside because if not done correctly it can impair the oil properties ofthe bearings. My question.is anybody flying with plain brass or bronzebearings?Thanks,JackDSMNX1929T________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:05:33 -0800 (PST)

Thanks Shad, I did check many including Bunting, National Bronze andMcMaster. Tarbell would machine them for $250 which is too high. Buntingsent me a cylinder 1.5 ID and 2.5 OD for $100 but it was =BC =93over toleranceand they want a $20 restock fee. I=92m looking for 1.5=94 ID and 2.3125 ODabout 6=94 long. I can turn the OD down but hesitate enlarging the ID.Thanks again,JackDSMNX1929T _____

Jack,I have plain bronze bushings in mine. Mainly because it is what I had when I mademy hubs and didn't want to buy the oilite. As long as you have about .003"-.004"clearance fit and scribe a few lines in the I.D. across the length ofthem to hold grease you'll be fine. I have never had any issues with mine. Iprobably have somewhere around 600-700 landings and they've always spun fine.Every annual I take them off and inspect and grease them well. They seem tobe wearing really well.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thank you so much Don, just what I needed. The tolerance data is mosthelpful. When you say scribe, literally? As opposed to milling or filing agroove?-----Original Message-----

Filing or scribing. As long as you have something there to hold a little grease.Having the clearance is VERY important. You don't want them to run tight.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I used the oiled bearings from MC. One thing I did do is use some Loctite 640 BearingRetainer to set the bearing into the wheel hub. If using the oil type bearingsjust wipe the surface with alcohol to remove the oil and then apply theLoctite. This will keep the bearing from spinning in the wheel hub and wearingit out.The oiled bearings can be replaced by heating the bearing some and pressing themout.--------Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I've been replacing journal bearings for forty years.It's been my experience and is industry practice toheat the surounding metal to enlarge the hole.Heating the bearing directly will enlarge the bearingitself thus jamming it tighter.If the bearing is small, od 1" or less, and accessiblefrom the other side, you can hammer it out with abrass drift, carefully. Larger ones should be pulledout with an "inside" puller.You can make oneyourself to fit the application with iron plumbingparts, a long bolt and nut and a thick washer to fitthe bearing. The pipe and a cap form a recepticlefor the bearing to slide into.ClifLife is not a matter of holding good cards,but rather, of playing a bad hand well!"Robert Louis Stevenson>> The oiled bearings can be replaced by heating the bearing some and > pressing them out.>> -------->>> Read this topic online here:>> http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 220#362220>>> -----> No virus found in this message.> Checked by AVG - www.avg.com> ________________________________________________________________________________

Mike thanks but that is not the one mentioned. It does have a lot of goodideas though. It's driving me nuts. It was posted a few weeks ago, Ibelieve in the metal priming thread. I looked at the site quickly and ithad the color I'm seeking on the front page. I either didn't bookmark it orcan't find the bookmark. I've read every thread in the archives with noluck.Thanks again MikeJackDSMNX1929T _____
