It sure is. I'd guess about 8 hours of actual work time per machine. Some took more, some took less. But I work slowly. Between parts and labor, I'd be paying roughly $1000 per machine to have a service tech do it. And that's if they didn't try to rip me off by telling me the big round drum had to be replaced, it couldn't just have a new seal sleeve heated up and put on! Getting dirty and having sore hands and knees is not fun, but when the job is done and I still have my money, that part feels good! :) On my website, episodes 92 and 124-125-126 are examples of bigger car jobs I did many years ago. I bought all the bearings, seals, and sleeves to fix 6 machines at kingslaundrygroup for about $1200.
Wood would absorb the shock and take away from the hit. I could have used a small metal plate or something, but was too lazy to go cut one to size. It turned out ok the way I did it. I didn't have to hit the bearings hard, just even, controlled hits, and keep moving the hammer around the edge.
While I agree that using a hydraulic press would have been a better way to do it, I didn't have a press and was too cheap to spend $150+ on a press at Harbor Freight that I'd only use for a couple weeks. 14:30 - note that I didn't hit any harder than I needed to, and only hit the outer bearing race.
Doesnt the bearing get removed from the back?
Removing the Sleeve shaft seal is such a nightmare 😢 super challenging
That's a lot of work....

Hello friend please do you buy original bearing from Alliance or you buy in a SKF store? The alliance bearing is very expensive
Kings Laundry Group or LOW Laundry. Alliance is ridiculous with their prices.
Sorry sir how many number BERING for short
Couldn't you have used a block of wood in between the bearings and the hammer when banging them in place??

Hi Tim l am looking for a bearing clamp for unimac washer machine
Where you buy the plate puller?
I had it made from a piece of 1/2" steel plate, with holes drilled in the right spots. And threaded rods with nuts and washers from Lowes.
You don't use a hammer like that on bearings!!

What you're supposed to do is use the old collar or bearing to lay on top of the new one, and hammer that. That's what meant I think
