Bearing 44060

t is an authentic replacement bearing that is supplied by the original equipment manufacturer for use with Ridgid portable power drives. Bearings are used to reduce friction between rotating parts. The balls or rollers take the load and spin, distributing the weight evenly while the minimal contact area of the ball reduces friction. Symptoms of failing bearing may include squealing, screeching, and an entirely new type of grinding noise. This high-quality component is made of durable metal and is sold as an individual part. Grease face gear and bearings every 3 to 6 months depending upon the amount of use. The grease fitting is provided on the gear housing. A screwdriver will be needed to perform this repair. Make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams for your model to ensure the proper replacement procedure.
