Very satisfied
The bearing was a very simple part, however, it made a huge difference on my planer. The bearing was on the outfeed side and it was causing the wood to skip and then have feeding problems.

What it said it was
Well seized my feed roller on my planer, of course I thought I killed it. Turned out I just needed a bearing and a roller. They had it in stock and shipped out the next day. Back in business in my hobby wood shop. Thanks

The bearing was wore through by the out feed roller shaft. Causing the stock to feed in a jerking motion as it went through the planer.

Replacing the roller bearings on a Makita 2040

The 2 screws that hold the bearing housing in are phillips heads. Discard those and replace with allen heads, works great! There are 4 roller adjustment pieces, a height adjustment and tension adjustment. Only one height adjustment goes all the way up and down per roller. So one has a some adjustment, and the other a lot. I assume it is a preventative measure by Makita to insure you CANT run the rollers to low. You are restricted by the travel of one side. No biggie, just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why two of the adjustments had so little travel. I found a large old chisel, ground a bit, worked good for the adjustment.
Put the rollers up on blocks of wood and raise the bed till the bearings are in place, then have at the screws. Go slow, lube them good and don't cross thread them. Maybe have a small tap on hand.

There are a few points that might be helpful to others:
1. All three chain sprockets and chain can come off as one unit, no need to open master link.
2. Support bearing blocks with F clamp or your fingers to reduce load on the screws during R&R. Keep track of the springs; my outfeed roller had two springs on the drive side.
3. The bearing bores were slightly eccentric in the blocks, about 0.007" meaning that near-perfect alignment of the roller shafts is possible with selective assembly. Up-and-down variation is probably not important owing to spring pressure, but it made sense to me to align the bearings front-to-back as accurately as possible. Easily done by matching up the sides that will slot into the main casting in this dimension.
4. I asked a professional repairer of woodworking machines about lubing the bearings and he suggested a small amount of teflon-containing light grease. He said do not use Lubriplate as it will eventually harden.
5. I had to clean the rollers after assembly with isopropyl alcohol to remove traces of my grease. Isopropyl is not particularly aggressive and it worked well.

Sprocket broke, shaft on main drive roller broke, plane bearing worn through, and metal cover S broke.

Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Hammer, jack, file
Removed old roller, bearing, sprocket, and metal cover, that holds the roller in place, and replaced them with new ones. I used a car jack to hold the roller in place while I put the springs, bearings and roller back in place. Then I replace the sprocket, oiled the chain and clean everything. It is working great. This is a Makita 15 inch model 2040 planer. The new sprocket was hard to get back on. I had to do some minor filing. Using the car jack and a piece of wood freed my hands to get the springs, bearings, and roller back in place. I have had this planer for about thirty years.
