Replacing thrust bearings yourself? | |
How hard is it to replace the X and Y axis thrust bearings on a 12x18 VMC? It's a Leadwell MCV-0P and it started making bearing noise on X movements of the table. I figure its easier just to replace the Y at the same time.
Should I get the bearings from Leadwell or are same-size replacements from McMaster suitable? Any special tools or procedures I need to follow? |
