Additional information

This snowblower self-aligning bearing, part number 941-04025, supports a shaft while allowing slight angular movement as the shaft rotates. The self-aligning design helps accommodate minor misalignment between the shaft and housing so the component can turn more smoothly under load.

If the self-aligning bearing wears, binds, or becomes loose, the shaft it supports may rotate unevenly, which can lead to vibration, noise, or increased wear on surrounding parts. You might notice rough or inconsistent rotation in the affected assembly if the bearing needs replacement.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Bearing and shaft areas can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the bearing is seated correctly and the shaft rotates freely before returning the snowblower to service.
