Should races be replaced with bearings?
Replace the Bearing and Race as a Set While you may encounter difficulty removing the old race during replacement, you should never match it with a new bearing. Doing so creates mismatched raceway wear patterns and can lead to early failure.
What bearing goes with 14276 race?
14125A bearing
Works with 14125A bearing.
What kind of rings hold bearings in place?
Retaining rings are often used as fasteners that exert a radial clamping force to the outside of a shaft or the inside of a bore or housing. Used in both grooved and grooveless applications, retaining rings provide a shoulder or load bearing surface that positions and limits movement of parts.
What bearing goes with race 25520?
25580 bearing
Works with 25580 bearing.
Why do bearing races need to be tight?
Bearing races are designed to have a friction fit inside a housing. The tolerance between their sides and the opening in the housings should be so tight that races are held firmly in place while the bearing turns freely inside them. All wear then occurs between the race and the bearing, protecting the larger housing.
What’s the best way to replace a loose bearing race?
However, there is a simple way to get that new race to stay in place, and all that’s required is a centre punch, hammer and some Loctite 660, which is designed just for jobs like this. Blue thread locker isn’t right for this job and probably won’t be an adequate replacement for the 660, unless the gap between the housing and new race is very small.
What happens if a bearing is too tight?
Go to the bearing supplier’s website and verify the press fit is within the limits the specified. If the press fit is too tight the bearing may split or may run to tight do to expansion of the inner race. If it is too loose it may run not stay in place on the shaft and may even “whallow” looser totally ruining the shaft.
Do you mix and match bearings and races?
Doing so creates mismatched raceway wear patterns and can lead to early failure. In addition to replacing your bearing and race as a set, we must stress how important it is that you never mix and match bearings and races from different manufacturers. The primary reason for this is the differences in internal geometries and surface finishes.

What should I know about replacing bearings and races?
When it comes to replacing bearings and races, NTN has a couple of recommendations we make to installers to ensure that our products meet their maximum life expectancy. When replacing the bearing and race, NTN encourages installers to:
What’s the best way to tighten a wheel bearing?
Step 1 Tighten the bearing for the first time. Loosen the nut back to where you can turn it with your fingers. Tighten the nut to where it is tightened firm once again. Loosen the nut to where you can once again turn it with your fingers. Tighten the nut so that it is verifiably firm, but not overly tight. Fix the nut in place with your cotter pin.
What to do if inner bearing won’t fit on spindle?
That is, if the bearing wasn’t messed up in the process. Don’t heat or cool anything. If the bearing race does not fit out of the box on a clean spindle, don’t use it. If you ever get it all the way on (pounding, heat, cool, hydraulic, whatever) good luck removing it. You will destroy the inner bearing and grease seal at the least.
