[TowerTalk] Clamp on thrust bearing

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

I have a 40-2CD and a 6 element monobander on same mast, not easy to remove
and play with it

I think a thrust bearing inside the tower or the first idea from Patrick
will work for now

Thanks all for the help

73,
Jorge

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm

You might try loosening the Yagi mounting clamps and let them slide down the
mast to the top of the tower. Then slide the mast up using a gin pole until
you can insert the bearing. Then let the mast down and re-mount the beams. I
think you will be much happier with a proper bearing.

Let's think about that........ You slide the yagi down to the top of the
tower. Then raise the mast to insert the new bearing. 
This would mean the mast AND yagi would be above the top of the tower. What
would support the mast and yagi while the mast is out of the tower??? Nope,
don't think so. 


I like the idea of raising the mast out of the rotor just enough so you can
place the bearing on the bottom of top plate. It would be easier to keep the
mast braced vertical while doing it.... not to mention stable. 


Just my $.02 worth.
