Mike,

Thats an excellent upgrade to the sheaves. I have replaced two of the sheaves on my HDX589 and if I need to do some more in the future I would like to do like you did, replace the bearings with waterproof sealed bearings. Do you have the specs on the bearings you got from Kaman Bearings ?

3 years ago had to replace bearings in HDX555 sheaves.  Went to Kaman Bearings 
and selected a sealed bearing to fit the shaft, took sheaves and bearings to 
machine shop and had shaft hole bored out to fit new heavier, waterproof 
bearings...........way, way less expensive than new sheaves.

Same here, I don't need them right now but I'm sure the day will come.

I also would certainly like to discover a more reasonably priced source
for replacement sheaves for my HDX555. I can't believe how much UST
charges. It doesn't seem to be possible to press in replacement bearings,
either.
