Guys I just had some issues with my S/C and sent it off for some service.

The guy told me that there should be oil in the nose cone. Well the problem I have with this is the bearing in the back of the nose cone is a sealed bearing.

So how exactly is oil supposed to get through the sealed bearing?

When I pulled the nose cone it had no oil in it.

The guys that are working on it are going to rebuild it with all new bearings and the rear nose cone bearing will be an open bearing so that oil can get into the nose cone.

Just a heads up here.

The shop that I highly recommend is www.thehighspeedlab.com

Their contact number is Bill Embree (636) 346-0562 or Wade Embree (314) 277-7414. It's a father/son machine shop.

They will also build a new nose cone shaft that won't chatter at idle. They will remove the splined drive shaft and replace it with a solid shaft with the coupler like every other Eaton. He wasn't sure why ours were designed like they are. Ours has a splined shaft that drives the coupler. He said you usually have a coupler or a splined shaft. Not both.
