Title: how to tighten bearings for a Tornado Classic table?
Post by: worookie on November 01, 2012, 03:39:50 PM

The bearings of a Tornado Classic table are different from other models of Tornado tables.

They look like this:

I searched the web and didn't find any corresponding tools.
Does anyone know how to tighten the bearings so that the rods are not loosen? Thanks in advance.

They do not tighten.  If they are worn only option is to replace.

Thanks for the answer. That makes sense.

So, how to take out an old bearing (of a Classic table)? Is there any specific tool?

No tool needed.  The bearing snaps into the hole located in the table sidewall.  Remove the rod from the bearing, squeeze the "tabs" on the bearing inward, and slide out of the sidewall hole.
