Trend T4 Router

[petejw]

Hi all
A couple of months ago I purchased a Trend T4 850 Watt Router, unfortunately i seem to have wrecked the lower bearing - Has anyone anyone got any experience of replacing the bearings on these? - I have removed the bearing lock plate and the collar and I can see the bearings, but I just cannot free it from the spindle.

Hi Pete
I havent got one but just looked at the trend side and found this if it helps. Looks like there is a separate roller and thrust bearing. so maybe the top needs to come off as well and withdraw the main shaft upwards.

Hi,

I think you will need to take the top off as well, i had to to this for mine. Mine isnt a Trend but its very much the same.

Thanks for the help guys, finally managed to get the bearing out and new one installed. All it needed in the end was a good sharp tap with a mallet
