Brings back memories from high school. The A/C unit for the schools theatre classroom stopped working (blower failed). Me and a classmate went up on the roof, found the bad bearing on the sheave end. Got a replacement, but couldn't get the old bearing to come off. With a lot of pounding and cussing, we drove the old bearing into the center of the wheel, got the new brearing on and got it running again. We were 17 and got 'er done. (The district maint. guys wouldn't fix it because it was owned by the drama dept. and not technically school equipment.)
Do you know if the pillow block bearings are both the same on the fan housing? Have you ever heard about fixed and floating? i was wondering.. Good job man keep it up!
I replaced the other side prior to this job and it’s the same bearing. I would think fixed are what you find on a motor shaft, is that what you’re asking?
Only one issue, when you shut off the disconnect, would have been nice if you put a LOTO on it. These are training videos and safety is is the best training. Other then that, great job.

Nice…That sounds about right
Gotta love a good fight with a pillow block bearing. Nicely done!
Yep, was a little work out . Thanks Steve 👍
I was thought to to lock it in the direction of the wheel rotation 13:20,it looked like you tighten cw.but it could be the camera.thanks for posting.
Yeah the set screw was in the shaft key, had to drive it cw , I locked it down like the gorilla before me. Thanks for the comment
It’s always cool to see how other guys do shaft bearings.
Thanks 👍
Yeah buddy....those pillowblocks can fight you sometimes. Nicely done bro
You never know until you start throwing some tools at it how hard it will be . Thanks Jason 💪
Thank you for the video. You do really nice, efficient work.
Much appreciated 👍
I used to think that Mike Lindell was the pillow man, but no more. Yo da pillow man now!
Oh yeah 👍 I guarantee the old pillow would keep you up at night, now I can sleep well 😴
Those set screws put up a fight.
Yep, Next step would’ve been drilling out
@@subcoolHVAC I thought you were gonna have to.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Very good job.
Thanks for watching!
Good work, I’ve would’ve gone straight with my bandsaw and angle grinder
The thought was crossing my mind but I had all day if needed this time. Thanks for commenting!
awesome job!!! but dont you think lining up the little tags on the VEE belts is showing off :P
Thanks, just showing up to work is all the attention I need 😎
@@subcoolHVAC love your work mate :)
The sound of that bearing initially made me think you were running at 50 Hz lol
Definitely was a loud one, Thanks for watching

Yes, didn't remember if the fixed was close to the motor shaft, thx @@subcoolHVAC
Did you end up doing the other side too?
Sure did 👍
@@subcoolHVAC I got an engineered air pillow block to change and I quoted 6hrs for both sides 😩 a part of me regrets it big time
Well the goal is set, you’ll get it done 💪
What about the bearing on the backside?
That was replaced 6 months prior
💯💯👍
Thanks!!
Nice! Definitely not your first rodeo
Or my last 🥺Thanks for watching
