It’s always cool to see how other guys do shaft bearings.

Thanks 👍

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

Yeah buddy....those pillowblocks can fight you sometimes. Nicely done bro

[@subcoolHVAC]

You never know until you start throwing some tools at it how hard it will be . Thanks Jason 💪

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

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.

[@subcoolHVAC]

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

I used to think that Mike Lindell was the pillow man, but no more. Yo da pillow man now!

[@subcoolHVAC]

Oh yeah 👍 I guarantee the old pillow would keep you up at night, now I can sleep well 😴

Great Video. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching!

[@topher8634]

Those set screws put up a fight.

[@subcoolHVAC]

Yep, Next step would’ve been drilling out

[@topher8634]

@@subcoolHVAC I thought you were gonna have to.

[@Ronnocbot]

The sound of that bearing initially made me think you were running at 50 Hz lol

[@subcoolHVAC]

Definitely was a loud one, Thanks for watching

[@maheradous9257]

Very good job.

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks for watching!

[@dannydaghavarian9185]

awesome job!!! but dont you think lining up the little tags on the VEE belts is showing off :P

[@subcoolHVAC]

Thanks, just showing up to work is all the attention I need 😎

[@dannydaghavarian9185]

@@subcoolHVAC love your work mate :)

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

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!

[@subcoolHVAC]

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?

[@vasileiosbakas9754]

Yes, didn't remember if the fixed was close to the motor shaft, thx @@subcoolHVAC

[@Hwishebak]

What about the bearing on the backside?

[@subcoolHVAC]

That was replaced 6 months prior

[@9ohfiver]

Did you end up doing the other side too?

[@subcoolHVAC]

Sure did 👍

[@9ohfiver]

@@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

[@subcoolHVAC]

Well the goal is set, you’ll get it done 💪

[@l.crossjr]

Nice! Definitely not your first rodeo

[@subcoolHVAC]

Or my last 🥺Thanks for watching

[@georgebrabec1749]

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.

[@MarcosHVAC]

Good work, I’ve would’ve gone straight with my bandsaw and angle grinder

[@subcoolHVAC]

The thought was crossing my mind but I had all day if needed this time. Thanks for commenting!
