Hi guys.
My 20 yr old JET 12" bandsaw was throwing the lower tire. When I opened it up, the lower wheel was hard to turn. Took it apart and looks like I have a couple siezed bearings in the axle on which the wheel is mounted. I can see the discoloration that indicates one of the bearings overtemped. I can see a bit of sawdust too. Ain't hard to figure out what happened.
These are common bearings (6203LU) and I can get them in a sealed version for $5 each. My problem is that I don't feel comfortable punching out the old ones and I dont have a press to put the new ones in.
What kind of business do I go to in order to have them replace these bearings for me?
Thanks for giving me a hand.
Fred
