expansion bearings are allowed to move in the housing maybe 3/16" from side to side. Non expansion will not float like the exp. The 2 bearings should have a slightly diff't number. Call the brg supply co near you, such as Motion Industries, with the number(s) of your 2 bearings. Surely, vERMEER CAN SELL YOU THE RIGHT ONES ....at a premium price.
Yeah, I have to order the 3" spacers, bushings, and bearings... Money I dont have because all the other money that I " wasted " with the Amish who is not smart enough to call vermeer. I should of figured out what a pully puller was and tried to figure out a press on my own... Appearntly Im a better mechanic then 90% of people that get paid to do it full time... Sad... Pathetic...
Ah. So I was right when I told my employee its got to be on tight due to debris aand vibration from use. My other fear was he pressed them on the wrong way so if I took them off they'd be ruined... I truely belive in Murphy's Law.
