Rocker/Glider Bearing Replacement
I thought I would create this for anyone interested given I have seen at least 2 blogs/post now asking the question on how to replace the bearing on a rocker/glider chair but no resolution on either. The bearing in my recliner looked to be a ball bearing with a riveted button cap bolt. I could not find a replacement so I decided to go with some different parts. The two holes left behind on my chair frame was a 1/4 on the riveted side and ~18mm (.708in) on the bearing side. I could not find 18mm OD bearings easily, so i decided to get a 19mm OD flanged bearing with a 8mm ID (link provided). Since the bearing was larger, I ordered a 19mm drill bit to step up the hole size (link provided). I ordered copper washers and a special size shoulder bolt to install it (link provided). I had a M6 locking nut laying around that I used but those are easy to come by at the local hardware store. The drill bit under sized the hole for the bearing ever so slightly, which was perfect so I could press it into place and have a firm fit of the bearing to the frame. I used 2 copper washers between the bearing and frame for spacing to match the others and to accommodate the custom bolt length. 19mm Drill bit: https://amzn.to/3EZ7hNU 19mm flanged bearing: https://amzn.to/4kqjaN6 Copper Washers: https://amzn.to/43gA36H Shoulder Bolt: https://www.mcmaster.com/90318A950 If needed, M6x1 lock nut: https://amzn.to/41DbbVk submitted by /u/egin3rd [link] [comments]
