The second to last in a series on how I replaced the bearings in my JEY Asplundh Whisper Chipper. This video shows the installation of the bearing onto the rotor shaft AND into the bearing housing at the same time. The previous 4th step is just a snapshot showing grease packed into the bearing housing cavity before the bearing is installed. This is critical to keep the chipping dust and moisture from laying between the bearing and the inner portion of the housing, which could rust out the bearing shield. (Moisture & rust ate thru my right side bearing shield, introduce grit & wiped out the old bearing) The 5th step is just a snapshot showing how I centered the rotor in the housing using 2 wooden paint stirs, a riser block to elevate the rotor off the cutter bar area, and a chain to keep the rotor forward a little. You can see them in the video. I know it was NOT a good idea only to press on the inner race. In order to press on both the inner and outer at the same time I would have had to trim both tubes to the same length, fabricate two washer like ends and fasten them together keeping everything square. I'm sorry, I just don't have the tools to do that and was pretty happy just to be able to get these bearings replaced at all. The last video shows my JEY in action afterwards.
