Hello,

I recently acquired a 96 VF1 with DC Servos. I have been working on here and there and finally had a chance to run parts on it. The surface finishing is not real good. The y axis does make noise... I believe it is the bearing item #11 in the picture, bearing, fafnir radial #304pp. (description is from the book) The noise is very prominent from this area and when touching there is vibration when moving back and forth. I have never change a bearing like this before. Is this pressed in and will I need a press to get it out? Also I was hoping someone would have a bearing number I can use to order a replacement. I would like to have it in hand when I remove the old one so I can install right away for minimal machine down time.

Again I am looking for advise and a bearing number. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
