Hi All,
Hoping for some help with refurbishing the drum of my Plastimo 608-S please.
This is what it looks like before opening it up:
Open up the top, and it looks like this:
And looking more closely into the bottom part of the drum:
As you can hopefully see, the grease inside is pretty rusty and manky, and the bearing seems to be seized. I would like to remove the bearing, clean everything up and repack it with clean grease, but I can't get the bearing to move. I would have expected it to be retained by a circlip, but I can't see anything like that.
So, what should I do next..? Is there a way of removing the bearing, or should I just dig out as much of the old grease as I can, fill with new and call it good..?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
