This is a Genuine Manufacturer Approved replacement part used on Toro Snowthrowers. This Ball Bearing has multiple applications in the Snowthrowers. This part is made out of Metal and it is Sold Individually. Ball Bearings are used to reduce friction between rotating parts. The balls or rollers take the load and spin, distributing the weight evenly while the minimal contact area of the ball reduces friction. This reduces wear on the tool and allows it to run smoothly. Bearings experience constant wear when the tool is in operation from pressure, heat, vibration and friction. Because of this, many Bearings need periodic maintenance or replacement.
To replace this Bearing you would need a Screwdriver and a Set of Wrenches.

Had to replace one spindle housing assembly as bearing had turned in it and worn aluminum housing. Fortunately I keep a spare on hand, otherwise, 3 to 5 day delay waiting for the new housing to arrive.
Old deck bearings dry and very loud.

Difficulty
Medium
Time
1-2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Socket set, Electric impact wrench, hammer ,drift punch
Parts Used
2. Impacted wrenched off spindle pulley nuts, removed pulleys.
3. Stood deck on it’s side and impact wrenched off the blades and tapped out spindle shafts.
4. Using drift punch and hammer knocked out both bearings from each of the spindle housing,
Spacers in between bearings might break due to the material made of.
5. Cleaned up inside of spindle housing, applied never seize compound to bearing bores,
Install one bearing, then a new spacer then second bearing. Might need to support the
spacer with the blade’s shaft to center it while installing second bearing in the spindle
housing. Used drift punch and hammer carefully on outer race to install bearings. Bearings
should be touching the spacer. You can try use an old bearing to place on the new bearing
to tap in place with hammer.
6. Install shaft, blade and pulley.
7. After reinstalling all components spin the rotating assembly hand and the rotation should be
smooth with no binding, like free-wheeling. If not recheck if parts are binding/touching the
housing in any way or a clearence problem between bearings. The metal spacer is needed
to take the tightening load off the bearings in the spindle housing.
8. Reinstall deck to mower and test.
