Leslie Bearing Set

DESCRIPTION

Leslie bearings are packed in grease that dries out over time resulting in noisy operation; they should rotate smoothly without any noise. It is most likely the bearings in your Leslie are original equipment. Replacing them is a good maintenance procedure and will not be required again for many years. Squeaking, rattlling noises or a wobbling lower rotor are indications that the bearings or grommets have exceeded their useful life.

 The small bearing replaces the upper rotor idler wheel bearing used to maintain tension on the horn drive belt. The two larger bearings (Leslie part number 051045) replace the ones used in the lower rotor upper and lower mounting brackets. The lower rotor bearings include Trek II LBG-1 grommet inserts.
