blemieux Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Does anyone know the criteria for inspection on MLG wheel bearings? T.O. 44B-1-3 lists all the criteria for inspecting used bearings, what if the bearing is new, in the package. Can the bearing just be cleaned, packed with grease and installed, or must it be run through the whole rigamorole of a used bearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have no Ideal about these days, but from 62 to 74 the bearings were clean in degreaser and repacked in grease and they were ready to use. The Wheel and Tire Shop did this back in my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blemieux Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 We are currently routing our brand new bearings to the wheel and tire shop for the full monty job that used bearings would be subjected to. When I was a mechanic on the line we would hand pack the new bearings and install them, we're trying to cut down on useless processes. I was hoping to find a tech reference that states new bearings do not need the full inspection quoted in the 44B-3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bischoffm Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 quote from the job guide on new bearings TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-40-1 section 2-2-4 New wheel bearings are delivered pre-packed, ready to be installed. Do not wash and re-pack new wheel bearings. TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-20-1 section 2-3-2. 8. If prepacked bearings are not supplied, clean, inspect, and repack bearings (5,7) in accordance with TO 44B-1-3. So, if they are new and prepacked install them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blemieux Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for the info, I guess I should have read the JG first, now if we can find a vendor that supplies them pre-packed.........thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
