Time to replace the main bearings of a reciprocating compressor

It depends on what type of bearing shell it is (thin-walled, thick-walled)? Was it an accident or a planned maintenance? How was the operation of the unit before? If it is a planned maintenance task and the unit is in good condition, replacing only the thin-walled tiles requires opening the tile joints; it takes little time, and the task can be completed in 4 hours.
What was said upstairs is correct; it depends on your specific situation and the type of maintenance required. Just replacing the spindle bearing won’t take long at all.
