As a cheapskate who buys old knackered tools, I just bought an old Wolf / Makita 5573 for £20 in "good working order" (homer)
Rear roller is stripped of rubber, the graphite pad is shredded and the Armature bearings need replacing, as one has all but seized.
A few questions.
1. I've chosen to buy SKF 62002rs bearings for 3 locations, though the original spec is for two 6200llb and one KBC6200d or NSK 6200ddw, I can't find any significant differences.
Any issues with that choice?
I know the SKF rubber sealed bearings are good to 17000 rpm, but don't know how fast the armature spins on these beasts.
2. I have the Armature out, but the bearing at the V-pulley end is blocked by the pulley itself, which is screwed on tight. I know it's a left hand thread, but any thoughts on how to grip it hard enough to remove it.
3. The rear roller is about £60+ for a new one, so I am going to try a wrap of EPDM for now and see how it performs
4. I have bought a replacement graphite pad and foam pad set.
Do I need both, as the exploded diagram is unclear on this, only showing a steel plate and cork pad.
Many thanks.
