JohnK 30 Posted March 15, 2016 in Bearing Replacement (edited) Lately, I have been getting a creaking kind of sound coming from my machine. I've narrowed it down to one of the bearings on the rear X axis/shaft, in particular, the bearing on the left of the machine, closest to the rear. What is involved in replacing one of these bearings, is it just a matter of loosening the pulley/s and sliding the rod out to get to the bearing or am I better off removing the side panel and doing it that way ?

Labern 716 Posted March 16, 2016 in Bearing Replacement Don't remove the side panel. loosen the pulleys as you explained. Just make sure they are nice and tight when you put it all back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
