Hi all,
Been advised by the surveyor to replace the bearings at the base of the swan neck. Thought we'd see how we get on but it seems to be deteriorating after just a few days
We've spoken to a chap at a chandlery and he said (from looking at the pictures I've attached here) ours is oval (looks circular to me?) and he will need to weld a new base plate in so that the bearings will fit. He said you can't get oval bearings which is why we would need to swap the base plate out for a round one. Again, it looks pretty round to be but I have no idea what I'm talking about
Do we need a new base plate? Can we just replace the bearings themselves rather than the housing?
Any advice much appreciated
