Yesterday, one of the blower shaft bearings froze up on my swamp cooler. I spent my entire lunch break today removing the bearing from the shaft, and after work I drove all over town trying to find a replacement. Not surprisingly, nobody even carries bearings that size (they’ve all got 1″ and 3/4″, but not 5/8″). So, in my infinite wisdom, I drove to Provo and Orem and tried to find one, but nobody up there carries them either. Shit.
I can’t find them online anywhere, so I’ve contacted the manufacturer by email to see if I can buy some directly from them. They don’t even have a phone number to call, just postal and email addresses. Gaywads.
