Hi Everyone,
Ian, I understand your point, I think in my case the wear isn't that bad on this bearing, there are not ridges or imperfections in the outer race just a slight polished sheen where the rollers have been running (I thought I had a picture to upload but sadly I don't). My Dad has had a chance to mess with it today (normally I only get chance at the weekends). He added in an extra 5 thou shim and tweaked the adjusters to alter the mesh and it seemed to run smoothly with the backlash set. He reckons it is still on the edge of the teeth but it is wiping further up them now. Annoyingly, he didn't take any photos but he hasn't altered anything since so I should be able to get some for comparison.
Terry & Nick - it certainly is a 'dark art' and very daunting but I've always liked a challenge as I'm keen to learn. I like doing as much as I can myself and luckily my Dad is very technically and mechanically minded so its good experience.
Ruairdh - I think Chris KC has that very tool, its interesting to know they are still around albeit not necessarily useful any more. My pinion is etched with 26 and 1512Y.
Thanks
Ruairi
