So this morning on my second cup of coffee and third scratch when I get a phone call
"I'm going to send you something interesting, you will like it "
Roughly translated into repair speak " I sending a pile of shït down and want it fixing "
Not far wrong because before the truck got here got another phone call to say these bit's are off a big sewerage pump and they are literally in the shït.

So this outrigger bearing assembly comes, forgot to get a picture of it as received but on the top of the casting is a large squarish cast bearing housing that's totalled, only about a third of it left.
Lob it on the face plate, machine the damaged bit off and bore thru 92mm to take a top hatted sleeve, then hunt round for a foot long piece of 2-1/4" diameter and drill and bore this out to clear the shaft and to fit the casting and the two new bearings.

New 50mm diameter shaft, bearing top hat and two new collars makes up the list of parts.

Had to clean the lathe down three times and sweep up 4 times.
Press the sleeve in, followed by two new bearings and the rest is up to the site crew.
This was the state of play at 7:00pm tonight.
