Hoe vervang mens engin bearings?

[FUDGES]

More Almal

Iewers by die fanbelt raas daar n bearing (ek dink dis n bearing dis n baie high pitch screatching sound maar net partykeer) op my D4D ek wil graag kyk of ek dit self kan vervang en wil weet hoe moeilik dit is!

Volgens my is dit net die boude op die pulleys wat moet loskom en dan koop ek nuwe pulley's en haal die alternator af en stuur hom in om die bearings op hom te vervang en dan sit ek hom net weer terug.

En hoe haal n mens die fanbelt af?

Is dit maklik om self te doen eks maar n penpusher so ek weet nie veel van engins af nie maar ek wil BAIE graag bietjie iets self op my bakkie doen!

AJ, daar is 'n paar pullies wat jou 'moeilikheid' kan veroorsaak.

Dit kan ook jou air-con se pully wees (een van die onderstes).

Om by die Alt. uit te kry moet jy eers die air-filter uithaal.

Om fan belt af te kry: die boonste regterkantste pully is op 'n spring arm. As jy hom 'leverage' gee verslap hy die belt. Jy hoef nie die bout los te maak om die belt af te kry nie!

Die pully wat skree is gewoonlik die aircon se pully wat omer sit, dit is die een wat gewoonlik water kry.....dis mos lekker om deur water te ry. Myne skree ook nou en dan as ek deur water gery het. Ek spuit net so bietjie Silicone spry.

Bel maar as jy hulp nodig het

Dankie Mark my alternator sit onder links en aircon sit bo links so dis hoekom ek gedink het dis dalk die alternator sin! Hoe vervaang mens die aircon pomp se bearings?

Deur die exhaust as jy 'n ginekoloog is

J Koosie....

Ek het nou nie so mooi al na die aircon eenheid gekyk nie, net aan die Alternator gewerk. Vraag is maak eers 100% seker, dit is wel die aircon pomp, en die een van die ander bearings nie :!:

[FUDGES]

Ja nee ek wil al die bearings vervang!

Destyds wou ek die selle doen.....NET nie heel boonste 'pully guide / bearing' was R1300.00 van Toy. Dis hoekom ek dit gelos het. (ja, net vir die x1.... )

What mileage has the vehicle done, AJ?

Firstly, don't mess with something that doesn't need to be messed with so leave the bearings until you have POSITIVELY identified the source of the screech. Check the fan belt tensions first. Most often that not it's the fan belt itself that slips and NOT the bearings. You can get some inexpensive aerosol belt dressing to spray on the belts, otherwise beeswax is damn good too.

If it's not the fan belts themselves, get a mechanic's stethoscope from Midas (also not expensive) and listen to each bearing in turn when the screech is present. Replace ONLY that bearing. If it's the external front aircon bearing you might get away with doing it yourself (Cassie has a topic where he did his ... just do a search), otherwise it should be sent in to a professional.

Thanks oom Andy Fudges got almost 150k kilos on, I don't think its the belt as I allready sprayed some Q20 on it while it was screatching and nothing happend. The sound is comming from the left side of the engin. I will go and get a stethoscope I'm just a bit scared to put my hands near all those moving parts while the engin is running.

You can use a metal rod that you can place on the bearing housings and put the other end to your ear .... your hands should never do in there when the motor is running. Even the mechanics stethoscope has an extension for this purpose.

If you put your hands in here we might have two screechings.....your bearing and you...so be 'versigtig samblief!!!'

Ok good to know

AJ, jy is nou goed bekend op die forum - gaan ons jou bietjie sien die 13e????

[FUDGES]

Jip ek ry vir die club!

[jacques kotze]

I agree with the slim ouens, don't open/replace bearings if there is nothing wrong with it. If in doubt, take it to someone to help locate the faulty bearing/s. Ask tips on how to replace it and take it from there.
Good luck

Ek het die probleem bearing gekry! Dis iewers op die alternator hy het weer begin raas toe begin die battery liggie aan en afgaan soos die geraas aan en afgaan.

That sounds like the belt is slipping. Maybe it's just the belt, They can get hard after some time and I would replace it first ... not expensive and an easy job. Even if it turns out not to be the belt, it's still money / time well spent.
