I need new bearings pressed into my rotors. Can I just take this to any machine shop that has a press?

Thanks, Ed

 

no send it to BDC

 

A shop should be able to do it. Take the rotors and bearings in and ask. The guys in the shop by my house turn around and walk away from me when I mention the word rotary. They did turn my flywheel though.

 

ahahaha, they walk away? that's funny as hell alot of shops here are almost the same way.. but they atleast tell you a place that will do it.

it's worth a shot 13BTOY

 

It's really funny how scared many people are of these engines... In my mechanics class everyone makes fun of the rotary daily. But whats really funny is how many advantages there are over a conventional piston engine.

Don't the bearings need to be pressed in to only a certain point that requires special tools to measure or anything?

 

New bearings need to clocked for the staking tab, that's a one shot deal sometimes. Other than that they are pressed in flush. They do need to pressed with in with an appropriate sized die, same for pressing out the old ones.

 

Send them to me if you are close to Vegas. I will do both for 25.00 or all 4 bearings for 40.00. I purchased all the tools from Mazdatrix and do them for all people all the time around the Southwest

 

hey gonzz how do u keep them from moving the bearing wise

 

The machine shop that surfaced my flywheel and did all the machine work on my MGB engine when I rebuilt it also removed and pressed in new rotor bearings for me.

Guys, I totally forgot about this thread that I started. Anyways THANKS! and I appologize for all of those that replied. I'm still trying to find a local shop that will press them in for me. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks, Ed
