Replacing Ampico A Pump Bearings
By Dale Abrams

Hello All,  My Ampico pump project is progressing.  Feeders and
flap valves are recovered or replaced.  I should replace the pressed
ball bearings in the pump cast housing and the spider bearing while
it's still out of the piano and semi-apart.

I thought someone had mentioned the bearings may be an auto parts
alternator bearing replacement?  If so, does anyone have some
additional info I can give the parts people?

Thanks,
Dale Abrams
