It sounds like a bearing is gone on my Craftsman 6"x48" stationary belt san=
der. I have taken enough off to expose and remove the C clips on the ends =
of the shaft. However, I can see no way to remove the bearings on either e=
nd of the roller. The roller itself will not come off - it appears to be mo=
unted permanently. The bearings seem to be in a "plastic" ring; the latter =
is not listed as a separate part, so it may come with the bearing as a sing=
le unit. =20
Anybody out there have a clue how to remove and replace the bearings? If I=
do one is it time to do all four of them?
Thanks,
Len

Pictures or at least link to parts diagram????
It had to go on; it must somehow come off... :) I was donated a
similar-sized Craftsman a number of years ago but I've almost never used
it and certainly haven't taken it apart to know otomh, sorry...
