On removing the IDrive eccentric it was clear that both the
bearings and the dog bone linkage were shot. The old
bearings were easily removed with a pin punch and some
careful hammering. The new bearings arrived Tuesday and I
put the cups into the frame easily enough.
The bearing tracks on the eccentric seem to be a different
matter though. The tapers are very steep and getting the
tracks to actually take hold is proving difficult. In order
to counter this, I've put the eccentric in the freezer on
its coldest setting, and will boil the bearing tracks before
trying to put them on.
Asides this, do you have any recommendations? How did you
do this bit?
