Jorge, amigo, sorry but I can't recommend a two part bearing to use
without the grand hassle of pulling the mast. You might be able to
"surround" your mast with "rollers." You will need at least 3 rollers
(wheels with their own bearings) arranged at 120 degree intervals. If
it were me, I would go for two levels of 3 rollers per level to
distribute the force such as you would avoid denting or crushing the
mast due to sharply concentrated force at the contact areas. I would
recommend considering placing a section of telescopic fitting tubing to
strengthen the mast at the points of contacts with the rollers. This
reinforcement would have to be split into two pieces to be put onto the
mast for the same reason you can't just easily swap out your failed
bearing assembly.
Other that something along the lines of the above, I have no clue how to
avoid the major pain of taking it all apart.
Good luck amigo,

Hello
I have a yaesu 065 thrust bearing broken up in the tower, after a rotor
replacement. Inside a mast with two antennas
I don´t want to remove all antennas and mast to replace the thrust bearing
from 200 ft tower, so wondering if there´s a CLAMP ON thrust bearing or
crapodine I can get to replace it without need to remove all antennas and
mast
Thanks,
Jorge
