FAQ

These bearings are compatible with Zodiac MX8, MX6, MX8 Elite, and MX6 Elite suction-side pool cleaners. They are designed to function as both wheel and engine bearings for these specific models.
Common symptoms of worn bearings include the pool cleaner moving sluggishly, making a loud grinding or squealing noise, or stalling frequently while navigating the pool floor. If you notice excessive play or 'wobble' in the wheels or the engine drive mechanism, it is likely time to replace the bearings.
Replacing these bearings is a straightforward maintenance task. You will need to remove the wheel or engine assembly from the cleaner, pop out the old, worn bearings, and press the new R0527000 units into place. No specialized tools are typically required, though a flat-head screwdriver can assist in gently prying out the old bearings.
Pool cleaner bearings are constantly submerged and exposed to pool chemicals, grit, and debris. Over time, the internal seals can degrade, allowing sand or calcium buildup to enter the bearing race, which causes friction, heat, and eventual failure.
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace all bearings simultaneously. If one bearing has failed due to wear, the others are likely near the end of their service life as well. Replacing the full set ensures consistent performance and prevents you from having to disassemble the unit again shortly after.
