Model G1026 (Mfd. Since 10/13)
Should a bearing fail, your shaper will develop a
noticeable rumble, which will increase when the
machine is put under load. If the bad bearing is
not replaced, it will eventually seize—possibly
doing damage to other parts of the machine.
Bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced
through Grizzly.
Tools Needed Qty
Open-End Wrench or Socket 14mm ................. 1
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2

Spindle Bearings
5. The bearing housing will drop down. If you
need to spread the spindle slide casting
more, use a flat head screwdriver.
Figure 65. Bolt on spindle slide.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
However, the spindle slide and leadscrew do need
lubrication.
Hex Bolt
Carefully spread the casting to reduce the
risk of the bearing housing falling and
pinching fingers. To reduce damage, place
a pad underneath the housing. The casting
will break if too much pressure is applied.
4. Use mineral spirits, shop rags, and a stiff
brush to clean away grease and built-up
grime from the surfaces of both slides and
the threads of the leadscrew, then apply a
thin coat of multi-purpose grease to these
surfaces.
5.
Fully raise and lower the spindle to distribute
the grease.
6.
Re-install the rear cover.
