Broke both eccentric shafts because I did NOT use a zero clearance insert. Was shaving "toothpicks: of white hard maple to get closer to my cut line. The off cut followed the blade, riding between

Parts Used
Release tension on the eccentric shafts using an allen wrench.
Remove the broken shafts from the aluminum slide.
Replace the bearings on the eccentric shafts.
Hand tighten the allen screws which attach the bearings to the shaft.
Slip a folded dollar bill between the blade and the bearing, on the right side of blade. (It helps to put some tension on the allen screw which tightens the eccentric shafts. Otherwise the eccentric shafts allow the bearings to flop around. That's disconcerting.)
Repeat above on the left side of the blade.
Tighten the allen screw which holds the eccentric shafts.
Repeat for the Bottom set of bearings.
I removed the cast iron table from the band saw. Makes this maneuver simpler.
Also I removed the plate the table is attached to so I had easier access to tighten the bottom
screws of the bearings.
Reattach plate. Then reattach table top. Stand away from the machine. Turn the machine on...cross your fingers, and hold your breath. Ahhhh success. Oh yes!! the bandsaw WAS unplugged the whole time of this retro.
I did remove the band saw blade--but that is unnecessary. Just be careful as you remove the cast iron table so you don't damage the blade.
BTW these guys at eReplacement parts are great!! Price was awesome. Delivery was great too. Wish I would have check them out a month earlier. My Powermatic dealer took a month to get me a broken part--then I broke it again ( my bad) by exerting too much tension on the allen wrench tightening the bearing to the eccentric shaft. I broke it. I did NOT want to wait for my dealer so I found these guys on line. Will certainly use them again. Hope this helps.
Be Well, Ed

At some point, the eccentric shaft on one of the bottom blade guide bearings (outboard) broke, and the blade continually wandered off track. Finally discovered the broken (missing) shaft, ordered 4 (

This was for a Powermatic PWBS-14CS bandsaw
1. Removed the old (broken end) of the eccentric shaft from the saw by loosening the socket head screw on the bandsaw (beneath the table).
2. Installed bearing (from previous purchase) onto the new shaft
3. Secured bearing onto eccentric shaft with washer (#10 SAE) and socket head screw (5mm). Tightened screw to shaft to enable next step
4. Inserted shaft to bandsaw, adjusted appropriate blade clearance by using socket screw on eccentric shaft to rotate the shaft, then tightened bottom outboard socket screw (on bandsaw).

Removed the broken part (eccentric shaft) then I removed the bearings from the broken part and installed them on the new part. Installed new part with the old bearings back into bandsaw, adjusted clearance and went back to using saw. Works like a champ.
