Axle bearing 027692 Carraro, aftermarket, option 2

For the backhoe loaders with Carraro axles: axle bearing 027692, an aftermarket part.

The bearings inside an axle usually wear together, so when one has failed the other bearings, seals and gears in that assembly are checked too. Replacing a bearing on its own is no lasting fix if it will run with a worn gear or shaft seat. During service also check that the axle breather is clean, since a blocked breather builds pressure in the axle and pushes oil out past the seals.

Specifications

Compatibility

According to the product card, Carraro 027692 is a bearing; cross numbers: CA0027692, 045159. Fit is confirmed by the axle or transmission type. The catalogue also has the aftermarket version of this part. Other parts are in Carraro.

Fitting

When the old bearing is removed, check the housing and shaft seat for burrs, rust and wear, since a worn seat lets the new bearing spin. Renew the seals and O-rings next to the bearing too. When the axle oil is drained, look at the metal particles in it: a lot of particles suggests the gears may also be worn. The bearing is chosen by comparing its number and dimensions (bore, outside diameter and width) with the old one. During the first hours of work after the change, feel the axle casing around the bearing: excessive heat indicates too much preload, and the adjustment must be redone.
