Carlton 4012 head pivot bearing.

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello,

Time to change this part before it breaks in the field, too much movement in the head.

Has any-one tackled this themselves?

If do, how many hours might it take?

First glance looks 'simple' ha ha.

Disconnect the head from the body and lift off.

Removing the bearing, well I guess I'll suck it and see.

Bearing cost, any ideas on that?

I may message Carlton's tech dept as well

 

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Carlton's tech dept. in Spartanburgh South Carolina are worth calling even if it's just to hear that accent.

Parts around 500 dollars and 6-8 hours work normally.
