I know this is old but if the brass bearing is not ment to move. How does it get oiled. I know the oil cap is there. But i dont see a way for the oil to get into the brass sleeve and shaft. Its supposed to be dry. Im nee to this i just dont understand how it works. Thank for the video its helping me learn allot
Wow thank you for up louding this video thats a great idea u gave meate blower at my grandparents bakery brokenand we have a 36trey oven and that is like being in the oven lol 611 bucks try want for a new one I have a ?for you where did you order that peice u have the in hr hand would like to order one need that exact one
There's àlso a 5/8 inch p. block bearing , ? The new replacement bearings don't turn at all , why is that ...shouldn't they spin like a roller bearing ?
Yes there is also a 5/8" pillow block bearing , you have to be very careful making sure you get the correct replacement size or it will not fit the pipe in the middle . Also no it does not turn at all its simply allowing the pipe in the center to turn while it holds it in place . The spongy part which is the "pillow" allows the adequate play or bounce .
Thank you Suavecito 1999 . if your rod and hex nut and everything is in good shape you need to loosen the hex nuts and spin the squirrel cage till it balances out and THEN tighten the hex nut. As a matter of fact either on this video or the ather one I show you how to do it.
Very helpful video! I was able to get the new pillow block bearing on the rod in my AC unit. However, is the bronze / yellow metal ring in the middle (the one that actually contacts with the rod) supposed to turn with the rod, or does it stay stationery as the fan / wheel turns?
both. bronze is bearing as well. the idea is when the ball bearing seizes. the bronze will rotate keeping it from cutting up the axle. and allows you to hear the sound telling you time to change the bearings. brand new, bronze bearing suppose to look like not moving.
@@rynaitsorry I know this post is pretty old. So at no time any oil gets in between the shaft and the bronze bearing. Where does the oil go. I've been trying to figure out why is there a oil cap but to way for the oil to get to the bronze bearing and shaft. I'm learning a lot Thanks you
@@CharlesStickmin-f7n understood. I am in same boat with you regarding oil vs bronze. There are machinist saying those bronze is not "solid" metal. instead says is sintered bronze. Meaning oil passes through?? So, I just put oil in the cap and know oil does go somewhere somehow. The bottom line in my statement, if bearing seizes, the bronze sleeve will rotate with the shaft (aka stuck on shaft) making a lot of noise.
Those screws do not hold UP anything. They do hold the bearing in place on the cross support that DOES hold UP that end of the blower shaft. Moving the pillow block does not balance anything. It does align the blower, but it doesn't balance it.
Julian, I've had to grind off a lot of those phillip's head screws, on that 5001 ? , your working on, I use stainless hex bolts and stainless nuts, easier for me to service. Good video.
Damn good idea ..the phillips head starts to rust out and forget it ..grab the grinder lol I think ill do that with mine this year. Thanks for the tip !
Julian, before you remove the bearing, use a black magic marker to make an index line, ( on the bearing flange / frame ) on both sides of bearings cage base plate. When you reinstall the new bearing you place it between the two lines.
@@melanielaborwit8566 I just use the zoom spout oiler for regular maintenance... If your talking about after replacing the pillow blocks any grease will do ..it takes very little .
Damn it would have been nice if u would have started your tutorial at the beginning of your repair because Im looking at this thinking yeah, it looks different then mine and I think something is wrong with the way something is sitting in there but cant tell because you already removed the belt and whatever else so I dont really know fot sure but its as if my bearing oil or whatever is leaking out everywhere cus its all over the bottom like the day after putting oil in it winds up on the floor of the cooler right there next to the wheel.
And throw it off balance while doing that ? If I thought it was that bad I would have sanded it smooth, but this is an old video and it's still running like a champ.

@@julianmartinez4479 simon haha, it happens to me too homie. Hey loco, gracias for putting these videos out, they help out alot perro! I live over here in hot ass Las Cruces and the pillow block broke on my ac yesterday and I had no idea what to do till I seen your videos. I even went n bought a jaw puller haha!
My friend im so sorry I barely seen your comment. If my memory serves me right on my cooler I believe its a 1/2 hp motor with a 3 3/4 motor pulley and a 11×3/4 blower pully . Yours could be different tho..hope this still helps ..
John Smith use the "jaw puller" watch my previous video showing how to use the jaw puller ..i dont know if yours has a hollow bar in the middle but if it does you will need a washer like the one I used
ALI sao the billow block IS the bearing stupiiiiiid ! Bru if you cant comrehend THAT dont try to fix it yourself call a pro ..in the begining of the video I show the package it says "pillow block BEARING" .. "stupidly"
Bro your the one who cant figure out what the bearing is ... Not to mention you said "stupidly" video bahaha your making yourself look like an idiot #stoptrollin ✋
LOL -Gerbil Wheel - Love it! Squirrel cage is what you were looking for...
Oh shit lol 🤣 ! Thank you brother !
thanks for the tutorial, very helpful
Your welcome! Glad I could help !
Broooooo!!! Awesome instructional video. But searching the eazy e song gimme that nut takes the cake😂😂😂😂😂😂

How do you remove that bar brotha
I'm having the same problem. How can I fix it to stop the polly from moving back and forward.
ARNT you missing the back collar. There is a bushing collar for both sides.
Wow thank you for up louding this video thats a great idea u gave meate blower at my grandparents bakery brokenand we have a 36trey oven and that is like being in the oven lol 611 bucks try want for a new one I have a ?for you where did you order that peice u have the in hr hand would like to order one need that exact one
Thanks for the video. The information about adjusting the wheel helped me. 👍🏿
Your welcome ! Glad it could help somebody !
Thanks bro. It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.
Lol I like that one 😂
I'm trouble with my shaft in swamp cooler please reply thank you

Mine is doing the same thing does not help
It's hard as shit to put the bearings back
Great video! My squirrel cage moves back and forth. Do you guys think my pulley needs to be replaced or just the hex nut tightened more? Thanks guys

You need a locking sleeve that goes on the shaft.
What kind of oil to use?
Very helpful video! I was able to get the new pillow block bearing on the rod in my AC unit. However, is the bronze / yellow metal ring in the middle (the one that actually contacts with the rod) supposed to turn with the rod, or does it stay stationery as the fan / wheel turns?
Thank you Adam ! It will stay stationary as the rod turns within it

Can a shaft move to much help
Those screws do not hold UP anything. They do hold the bearing in place on the cross support that DOES hold UP that end of the blower shaft.
Moving the pillow block does not balance anything. It does align the blower, but it doesn't balance it.
You forgot the locking sleeve on the shaft so it doesn’t move.
Its a good video and helpful homie and by the way "gimmie dat nut" was performed by the great late Eazy E
Julian Gonzalez thank you for the positive comment ! Im glad it was helpful bro ..and yes ! The late great Eazy E - R.I.P
The Eazy E reference 😂😂
What if you're bearing is frozen on the shaft? I had to use a torch to make it come off.
Yeah thats tough man .. now when you say frozen was it frozen due to cold weather or siezed due to rust or hard water deposits?
@@julianmartinez4479 rust and hard water both. I oiled always and I did before I turned it on this time.
Julian, I've had to grind off a lot of those phillip's head screws, on that 5001 ? , your working on, I use stainless hex bolts and stainless nuts, easier for me to service.

@@julianmartinez4479 the guys at Samon's gave me some Rust Buster and it totally took care of the corroded screws so I could get them out myself
Donde puedo pedir esa herramienta para sacar los rodamientos? en que pagina o como se llama en español. gracias.
you rock! thanks so much for this, just what I needed
Your very welcome Melanie ! So glad it helped !
what oil do you usually use to put in the pillow block? thanks
@@melanielaborwit8566 I just use the zoom spout oiler for regular maintenance... If your talking about after replacing the pillow blocks any grease will do ..it takes very little .
Awesome man 👍 thanks for the help video was very
Your welcome . Glad I could help!
I used my angle grinder to chop the bearing off when it was stuck.
Damn it would have been nice if u would have started your tutorial at the beginning of your repair because Im looking at this thinking yeah, it looks different then mine and I think something is wrong with the way something is sitting in there but cant tell because you already removed the belt and whatever else so I dont really know fot sure but its as if my bearing oil or whatever is leaking out everywhere cus its all over the bottom like the day after putting oil in it winds up on the floor of the cooler right there next to the wheel.
I didn’t need a gear puller. Used Tri-Fow. And worked it off. Tri-Flow the the Rescue. Saved $23.00 not buying a draw puller. Use it on everything.
Great video... Thanks!!
Your welcome ! Glad it helped!
In other words, mark your levels to put it at same place where it was AND use a bearing puller
Did you put a new bearing on an old scored up shaft? At least move or flip the shaft to get a clean surface.
And throw it off balance while doing that ? If I thought it was that bad I would have sanded it smooth, but this is an old video and it's still running like a champ.

a friendly advice if You can go more straight DIRECTLY to the point it can by MUCH BETTER .
If you tap your screen you will see these symbols pop up < || > try hitting this one > until you find the video you prefer ✌
It’s called a squirrel cage not a gerble wheel.

How did you get it off

John Smith the jaw puller you can get for free at auto zone (they rent tools) ..I paid a $50 deposit and once I returned it I got every penny back
How do you know if you need to replace your bearings all my bearings look old more now but it still turns good and stuff.
Stupidly video. You did not show how to replace the bearing....
