The bearing is held rigidly front to back in the housing by the cap. Turn the wheel to the right only as far as the slop, not to the far right, and put a weight on the wheel to hold it there. clean the location where the shaft goes into the housing. Mark it with a felt tip pen. Turn the wheel opposite to remove slop and weight it again to hold it there. Now look at the mark. if the mark is now way out from the housing, the bearing is toast. A tiny bit is OK, but it should be .005" or less. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
