Reply to: Harken traveler car ball bearings

[quote=Edchris177][quote]Do you know if Harken use the same Torlon bearing balls in their jib furlers,[/quote] Not sure what is used on the H18, BUT if it is the Harken H435 (Hi load) or 434 (Lo Load) furler kit they are not the same. The traveler uses a 1/4" bearing, the furler uses much smaller ones, 5/32" IIRC. The furler uses 9 bearing to a race x 5 races for 45 bearings. The internals are exactly the same for the drum unit & the upper swivel, you need 90 in total. Sailing Services in Fl will sell them individually, about 30 cents each for Torlon. Have a look at the album I have in the Photo Albums-Technical Tips for how to take the furler apart for cleaning or bearing replacement.
