[TowerTalk] clamp on thrust bearing

A few years ago I was looking for a heavy duty 3" thrust bearing.  If my
memory is correct, there is a German company that makes one that is split
and can be installed on an existing system.  I found the company by using
a tower link on the OptiBeam website.  Indecently, I wound up buying a
Luso bearing which is very nice.

Hello



I have a yaesu 065 thrust bearing broken up in the tower, after a rotor
replacement.  Inside a mast with two antennas



I don´t want to remove all antennas and mast to replace the thrust bearing
from 200 ft tower, so wondering if there´s a CLAMP ON thrust bearing or
crapodine I can get to replace it without need to remove all antennas and
mast



Thanks,

Jorge
