REPLACING A SOLE TREADMILL FRONT ROLLER For assistance or parts email- fitnesspartspro@gmail.com fitnesspartspro.com/ See more video's on our channel below / @fitnesstechnologyserv...
Thank you for showing us how to do this. The process was easy and straightforward thanks to you. Our Sole80 has returned to its “whisper-quiet” mode. 😊
@@FitnessTechnologyServices yes, thank you! We watched that and it is very helpful also. We will be purchasing the replacement bearings this week. Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
Good video(s), got a question-how do you know when rollers are bad enough to replace? Do they gradually drag more? Since they seem to have ball bearings, it surprises me greasing isn’t a regular maintenance item on them.
Well in general they get noisy when they go bad I don’t believe they cause any extra drag on unit I have read that do even factory tech say this sometimes but I have never seen it in 25 years drag (amp draw ) is always in belt /deck and they are sealed bearings with no grease port like a skateboard they don’t even sell replacement bearings only rollers😒
Any advice for removing the F63 Sole front roller? I removed the right bolt and loosened the motor and pulled off the motor belt, but the left side of the roller won't budge. There's a lot of rust. Not sure if that's what's causing it to stick. It's definitely different than the F80 though. The left side goes into a metal hole/flange, maybe 1/4" sticks out.
@@FitnessTechnologyServices that's what it turned out to be. It was confusing because it didn't look rusted right there. Thanks for the excellent video

You are so welcome! And thank you. I have a video on replacing the rear bearing if that helps

@@onemoretimetexas my pleasure
This video is absolutely awesome. I just replaced the front roller on my F80 and it's working great!
Thank you!
Our next project will be to replace the bearings on the old roller so that we have that in reserve.

Sounds like it is rusted in mounting hole try some W-40 or blast rust remover
