The bearings of my lathe making noise, so I decided to change them for new ones incl. the belt.
I bought 2 bearings on Ali-express, but they where more worse then the original ones. So I ordered FSK bearings 2x FSK 6002 2z. These are very good, almost no bearing clearance. Original (I think) where KBC Bearings 6002 Z .
See pictures how to work putting everything together.
It looks difficult to change the bearings but they are not clamped too tightly on the axle. Just a few hits with a hammer and a nut cap that is the same width as the axle. Dont forget too loosen the screw in the middle.
Then put the bottom back on (pull the switch out of the housing because the cable could get stuck)
the old belt
the new one from china for just 1,50 euro
the original bearings are changed out for FSK (2,50 euro a piece)
total cost under the 10 Euro, and it is working as new.
