Starting with photo 22 shows how I made a rain shield for the top
bearing on the old style PST-61 rotator.

That would be similar to one for a thrust bearing.
It's a fairly large page so it'd take a long time on dial-up.

I also wanted to keep the rain and sun off the thrust bearings on my UST
HDX-589 towers. I'm using the following 6 in. to 2 in. flexible rubber
coupling installed on the 2 in. mast immediately above the bearing. The
stainless steel hose clamp on the 2 in. end allows you to adjust it really
snugly against the mast. The P/N is Fernco 1056-62.
I just installed the first one today, but it appears that it should work
quite well. I also installed one over the rotator mast clamps to shield
most of the rainwater from the top of the Orion OR2800PXAZ rotator.
