It really depends on what vintage you are talking about. |

I believe the machine is a 65' deluxe model non rapidry. the other machine I mentioned with the bearings is a 68' WIN model Imperial with the rapidry feature. |

can just be tapped out with a bearing punch once the mechanism is completely torn down. The rollermatics have a very bizarre lower bearing it has a key pressed into it and if I recall the lower bearing is actually a metric size unlike the upper bearing. So you have to tap out the key and insert it into the new bearing.
Tricky but doable.

The lower bearing is an odd one, I think it's metric on the outside but not the inside diameter. I wanted to replace
It in my 1965 Roller-Matic but I couldn't find one! I did replace the top one and it fixed the loud spin noise. I also had to remove hair (mine!) around the water pump seal once on that machine because it caused a leak. The seal itself was OK. |

Check this thread out where I did a complete teardown and replacement of the lower bearing. You may find some helpful information in there. Ben did a lot of research to help me at the time.
