How hard is it to replace the front rotor bearing on a 1640. Mine was running warm last year in beans and has a little movement in it when I check it with a pry bar. Any guesses on how long I might be able to run it without before it goes down completely? Thanks in advance for your input.

chain rotor to rear of machine, both sides to keep straight, drop, concave and use blocks between rotor bars on cancave both sides, tighen concave till ya have contact with rotor, can be done, would use chain binders to hold rotor in gear box, can use comalongs hander, scott.

If you do not have chain binders just use racket straps and block the rotor as above. This is much quicker to do than you may think, you will change it in 1 hour

Thanks for the replies. Where are you attaching chains etc to the rotor? Down in the concave area or from the back end?

try and attach to something fairly stout, run chains or comealongs trying to keep level with front to rear of rotor, scott.
