Abstract

A method for replacing a portion of a first outer bearing assembly for a generator with a second outer bearing assembly. The first outer bearing assembly includes a first liner and a first outer bearing race. The method includes removing the first outer bearing race and the first liner and inserting a second liner. The second liner is matched to a given diameter such that the second outer bearing assembly fits within the generator. A position ring of the second outer bearing assembly is inserted against the machined second liner and a generator housing. A second bearing race of said second outer bearing assembly is inserted against the position ring. The second bearing race of the second outer bearing assembly is connected against the position ring and against a generator housing.
