Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed using a dedicated bearing press to ensure the load is applied evenly to the outer race. Never strike the inner race directly with a hammer or punch, as this will cause brinelling and premature failure. Before installation, confirm that the housing bore and shaft diameter are within the manufacturer’s tolerances to prevent binding. Once installed, these bearings are maintenance-free due to the integrated LLU seals; do not attempt to pry the seals off, as they are not designed to be removed and re-seated. Periodically check for any lateral play or "grittiness" during routine maintenance of your equipment.
