Thank you so much for your response. When you measured the ID of the caps to provide the bearing OD dimension, did you shim the caps first? If so, how much?
Also, does anybody here know what the journal bearing sizes are for the 14.5, and are they the same for the 16?
And last question, on my main forward bearing, when out of the machine it does not engage the expander, meaning the slot is wider than the dove tail on the expander. A prior owner must have removed the caps without releasing the expander first and there is visible damage in the dovetail slot on the bearing. I'm assuming that the bearing, even when loose, should capture the expander?
