I know I've seen it in here before but did't think I'd need it but what is the procedure on replaceing the bearings front and back..I have an OS 61 SF that's real noisy and want to try it myself. If it's a long answer I dont know how to print it from here so could you email it to me so I don't end up printing RCU in it's entireity....Thanx a mil...Walt
I do remember something about putting the engine in the oven and the bearings are suppose to just fall out...Sounds too good to be true.....

Hi!
That is what you do....just take the engine apart and warm the housing ( I use a propane torch instead of the owen ) and the ballberings will fall out when tou hit the housing on a piece of hardwood. Simple ? Yes!
Ballbearings could be bought from any ballbearing dealer...see to that you get C3 competiton play in your bearings as this gives more rpm than standard ballbearings!
