Re: Much better Recording of my Blower Issue

I think you are misunderstanding what I'm saying on the shaft.

1. the bearings and the blade are pressed on to the shaft. You don't need to remove the bearings from the shaft.
2. The blade comes off by driving the shaft out of the blade. ON the side were the blade is, were the nut is down in the blade a little: remove that nut. use a punch and hammer in that spot. You will hammer the punch down into the center of the blade. This will drive out the shaft.

Re: Much better Recording of my Blower Issue

Okay I think I can visualize everything your talking about here. I'm following you on everything you said except for one thing. When you tap the Impeller Shaft out does the Impeller go with the shaft or does the Impeller have to come off first?

As far as the bearing I was talking about. It was stuck on top of the Shaft that your supposed to tap out with the hammer. It slips into the front Case Housing just like the bigger Gear at the bottom. You said up further about rocking them a little so they come off the shafts.

Thanks!
Brian.

I chickened out and shipped it off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> I seriously considered it though but I know my luck. I'd ruin the entire headunit just to save a 100 bucks by bending the impeller blade or dropping and losing something, who knows!. I think I'd rather let someone that's done a few handle it..

I'm betting though that it's definitely that Carbon seal. I was cleaning up my garage yesterday and picked up the Blower ducting to clean it up and a qt of oil poured out of the aftercooler and the duct that connects to the TB. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I should hear something this week.

Re: Much better Recording of my Blower Issue

Well here's what turned out to be bad with my headunit.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />
Hey Brian,

Got your blower apart and the bearings are all rough. The input shaft
bearings are the worst.
The carbon face seal is fine, perhaps it was leaking by because of the play
and vibration the bearings were causing.
Most of the other blowers use the same bearing on both ends of the
compressor shaft, the G-trim uses a bigger bearing on the compressor
side....<hr /></blockquote>Wasn't the carbon seal afterall. He's trying to order the bearing he needs and expects to ship this thing back to me early next week. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
