4.3.5. Replacing Bearing In Driven Disc Assembly
IMPORTANT: The bearing, on these “M” series Non-
Commercial machines, is staked into the thrust plate.
The bearing will have to be driven out with a mallet and a
large punch. A new bearing with four retaining screws
will have to be purchased to replace existing bearing.
If the driven disc bearing fails, remove the driven
disc assembly and replace bearing as follows:
1. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, free the clip
from the transfer rod. Then remove the transfer rod
from the clip and the speed control rod. See Figure
4.11.
2. Using needle nose pliers, unhook the drive
spring and slide the driven disc assembly off the
hex shaft. See Figure 4.12.
3. Remove both snap rings that secure rubber
driven disc hub to thrust plate. See Figure 4.13.
4. Slide the rubber driven disc hub out of the
bearing.
5. Drive out existing bearing.
6. Install new bearing and secure to thrust plate
with four retaining screws. Tighten screws securely.
7. Reassemble components in reverse order.
