landing gear thrust bearings

[maxx1963]

so I just got done replacing the thrust bearings on my landing gear,the side with the motor was broken and froze up, It kept popping fuses when i would lift it. luckily that was the easy side to pull out of the propane comartment, the other side was not so simple. I was not about to pull my generator out, so I crawled into the propane compartment and weaseled my way over the top of the genny. then i realized it would be to difficult to remove the leg so I did the very uncomfortable job of replacing the bearing while the leg was still in. Luckily everything went VERY smooth. It was a pain but worth it! the bearing on that side ended up to be fine, but I refuse to only replace something on one side and not replace the other. Tearing apart the gears in the landing gear was VERY simple, I bought some U.S. made bearings off ebay and they came with full detailed instructions and diagram. When he re-lists them i will post the link.

I had to do the same thing last year on our 05 sprinter 5er It kept breaking the drive motor housing and could not figure out why when fixing the bearing i found that part of the gear drive had never beemn installed made the part and have not had any trouble sence then
