Hi John,? thanks for the advice and the pictures of your bearing fitting in Alan's thread.? I believe the explanation by John Goetz about the 76 second cycle. Just spring loading will not fix it because the bearings are still misaligned.? Both the worm and the crown wheel are uneven so the spring loaded worm must be moving constantly to compensate.? Therefore the bearings must follow so Belleville washers are the solution.
If I widen the holes in the blocks I should be able to reuse the bearings that I have, should I not?? If yes, why did you buy new bearings?
Also, my outer block bearings should realign themselves because mine float and are pressed by a tangential spring.? So I think the inner block needs the Belleville washer not the outer.? Maybe it's best to do both if there is enough space.? Any thoughts?
