Hi Joe. I doubt that they're hard chrome plated as this would be a way for them to fail though they could be. Ordinary bearings are just finish ground from some pretty high ally steel which has a lot of chromium in. Cam follower bearing are meant to have things rubbing against them so even the black finish will be good - jv
Thanks for all the info.
I have tried to relube them.? The top(with the blade slot) has a hole for lubrication.? The other side has the plug installed.? I tried to spray some ;ithium grease from a spray can with a straw.? Not a good fit but some went in. It is getting better.? Cargill has some information.? Talk about a 1/8" press fit grease nipple.
Size:? It appears the are CFE10 (22mm diameter).? The measurement is closer to that then a CFE7/8.? I would have expected it to be inch be it appears metric.? They may not be original.? I bought some CF10 and the fit good.? I might try a CF7/8 if I can find it cheap.? I have been measuring with my cheap digital calipers.? I do not not have a good knowledge of clearances so it is easier to buy a cheap one to test fit.
Possible sizes are CFE10, KR22, and maybe a CFE7/8 (it is a little bigger)
I will write more later.? Got to change frier oil and fix a car air conditioner.? When I get home putting the saw together
Finish:? the saw cam followers have a chrome? finish.? It is shiney at least.? I have only found CFE's with a black oxide finish.? Would that be OK?? I am not sure if it is realy chrome to make it harder.
