You might get more response if this was posted in the Turner's Forum. You could ask a Moderator to do that for you.

So much to learn, so little time.....

I suspect that earlier power matics have a similar bearing arrangement than your newer C model. Here are the instructions on replacing the bearings on a 3520a: https://hillcountryturners.org/Proje...matic3520A.pdf

Wasn't Powermatic tech support any help?

I had to replace the bearings on my A model after about 5 years. Bought the bearings and a new belt from a local supply house, took it to a local tool repair shop that I had good relations with, and they fixed it for less than I could buy the parts from PM/Jet. If you take it to a repair shop, remove the motor first. Much easier to haul around....

This is a good site for all thing Powermatic 3520. https://MustardMonster.colvintools.com
There is a video link to changing bearings on a Jet 1642 which has similar construction.
