Additional information

This bearing housing, part number 05845C, supports the bearing and keeps shafts or other rotating parts properly aligned during operation. A secure housing helps the bearing spin smoothly and reduces stress on connected components.

If you hear grinding or rumbling noises, notice increased vibration, or see misalignment in the driven components, the bearing housing may be cracked, worn, or no longer holding the bearing securely. Movement at the housing can also lead to premature bearing wear.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Install the bearing housing squarely in its mounting location and tighten fasteners evenly so the bearing remains properly aligned.
