Todd,


It is eccentric. (You would usually set it in the direction of rotation)  I 
would look at the collar and see which way it was hit to tighten and hit it
the 
other way.  (Loosen the set screw first)  If you don't see any marks, tap it
one 
way then another.  (If you don't see any marks, it shouldn't be that tight)

Give it a little spray of penetrating oil and it will come off easy.  I have

really set some collars hard on the farm and they were not that hard to
remove.  
(after the set screw was removed)

I have a Peer FTJ211 thrust bearing that I am trying to take off of my
antenna mast. It has been about 7 years since I put it on and I can not
remember which way the locking collar is turned in order to loosen it and
remove it. Is it counter clockwise or clockwise? 


                                               Thanks,

                                                Todd
                                                N4JRZ
