Headstock Class 3 Bearing

We do not recommend customers attempt to replace the headstock bearings themselves. Proper bearing installation requires the use of specialized fixtures to ensure perfect spindle and bearing alignment.

If you are unable to press the bearings in yourself, you may return your headstock to our facility for professional replacement. Please contact our customer service department at kim@sherline.com to obtain an RMA number before sending your headstock in for service.
Note: Service fees apply.
