Members DanishMan Posted October 21, 2019 Author Members Report Posted October 21, 2019 I orderend som 1/16 balls for the bearing. I hope they are not too dificult to fit Quote
Members hugocrafts Posted July 8, 2021 Members Report Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Hello, @DanishMan Can you tell me where this ball bearing part (91-019 657-05) goes? Is it housed inside that bushing part 91-019 656-05? I have to change my presser bar. I still haven't disassembled it yet, but now as it is I can't see this ball bearing part. Do you have any photos of this ball bearing 91-019 657-05? Perhaps when you were installing the little balls for the bearing? Best Regards, Hugo Edited July 8, 2021 by hugocrafts Quote
Members LindanHotAir Posted July 10, 2021 Members Report Posted July 10, 2021 I would suggest you use some sticky grease as part of the assembly process. I have had to use grease, tweezers, and a dental pick to assemble needle bearings. Quote
Members DanishMan Posted July 21, 2021 Author Members Report Posted July 21, 2021 Hi Hugocraft Sorry for my late response. If you just remove the presser bar, the metal balls will fall out. 91-019 657-05 is housed inside 91-019 656-05. It has been a long time since I did change the metal balls of a machine, but I am going to pick up a 145 on Monday. As I remember the ball size is 1/16 inch. You can probably retain the metal balls inside the ball bearing part, if you insert a temporary piece of the same dimension as the presser bar. Cheers Søren Quote

My goal is to replace just the presser bar without having to disassemble other parts If possible. So, I was thinking to pull the old presser bar from the above, If that's possible. Thanks for the warning and letting me know about the little bearing balls, I'll keep that in mind when I'll be doing the procedure. Maybe I'll try to put some grease If possible to keep the balls from jumping off and a small bar with the same thickness in diameter in order to hold them like you suggested. If you have any other advice on that, don't hesitate to share it. Best regards, Hugo Quote
Members DanishMan Posted August 1, 2021 Author Members Report Posted August 1, 2021 Probably better to take it the other way. And fit the new one, while removing the old one. Cheers Quote
