 Topic: Hand clutch is removed now I want to dry it up
Posted: 11 Oct 2014 at 8:25am |
I want to be able to dry the housing up. I have read on here to use sealed bearings, I have searched without results. Can anyone give me bearing #'s, and info on just exactly how much it is to it...

You would need to seal the front of the trans. Sealed bearings don't always work.

I'm cheap and lazy, sealed bearings will leak oil in time and weep around the shaft to race.
Get a can of Great Stuff foam insulation and just foam the housing to displace as much oil as possible and leave things we enough am one

The "seal" in a sealed bearing is to keep the grease IN the bearing not to seal out leaks side to side.

I understand that, but I have to run oil in order to lubricate, where is if I had a sealed and lubed bearing I wouldn't

I suppose if you had them out already you could cross them to a sealed bearing or go by dimensions but I assume you are wanting to get the bearings before you tear into it.

OK, I was thinking, I get in trouble that way, that you were trying to separate compartments with the seal. If those bearings are a ball bearing , it shouldn't be hard to find a replacement by size. Timken tapered bearings would be another story. I don't know what is in there.

If the ball bearing has a standard 4 digit bearing number such as 6405 then adding a seal to one side would be 6405-RS. To add seals to both sides would be 6405-2RS. To add the metal shields such as you often see in motor bearings you suffix the number with Z 6405-Z. If the bearing you have now has an Allis part number then you will need to convert it to the standard numbering system to get your part number then simply call any bearing house or better yet punch it into Ebay to get lots better pricing.

I got rid of my housing to save more weight made a steel plate for the clutch housing and one for the trans and welded a pipe between them to let the oil flow back and forth no seal needed
