Bearing in Mule drive replacement??

[Steve in Mo 3]

The inside belt guide bearing on my mule drive is getting bad. I see the whole guide in the parts list but the bearing has a number on it. Can I just press out the bearing and replace it or do I have to replace the whole guide??

Thanks for the help.

If you have a cast pulley you can just replace bearing,Rick

Yup what Rick said, if it's the tin pulley buy a new one, about $25 from Toro for a pulley

Just put bearings in both cast pulleys on my C-100. They are 6023 bearings, but with a 3/4" center bore. They were about 5 dollars each more than the tin pulleys, but I wanted to keep it original as much as I can.

Them cast pulleys and bearings have a longer service life than the tin jobs,Rick

I can believe that, these looked to be the original bearings, faded red paint on the outer one!
