<VV> Re: The 3 Greatest Corvair Improvements (Blower Bearing)

[Dan & Synde]

I have to admit, I've found the later, larger bearing more durable.  So much
so that I consider it a valuable upgrade when I happen to have one apart to
go ahead and change to the larger bearing.  I agree with Ron though about
not needing a quick change bearing in this location.  It is rare for it to
fail without many, many miles of warning.  IMO having a quick change fan
bearing would be about as useful to a Corvair owner as a quick change water
pump bearing would be to a water pumper car.  Makes the job easier but how
often do you really need to do it?
