23121 forum posts 1360 photos	I am trying to rebuild a small air/vacuum pump It's like a mains-powered version of the popular tyre inflator, and was rather better built. ... until someone had a go at fixing it. The big-end bearing appears to have about +/- 10 degrees of angular play, but most of that is in the housing !! A few drops of Loctite 'Bearing Fit' would probably have fixed the original problem ... BUT the genius technician decided to do this instead: ... Yes, folks ... it's been 'staked' or 'peened' ... or some-such ... . This is going to be an interesting restoration MichaelG. . Edit: for scale ... the bearing is 1/4" bore Edited By Michael Gilligan on 29/09/2018 21:46:21
