3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult install, but worth the upgrade. I must have an older Rikon 10-325 saw. The upper bearing went in according to spec. BUT, the lower bearing was a nightmare. The instructions did not match my saw. The bracket that holds the bearing needed to have the mounting bolt hole moved to center. That involved drilling and tapping a new hole in the new bracket. The new lower bearing lacks a hole in the back to receive a metal mounting pin sticking out from the saw frame. The older bearing set slipped onto this pin. The pin blocking the install was removed by taking off the table (you'll need a buddy) and then disassembling the table mount assembly that tilts the table. The pin was installed on the bottom of the mount and held by a set screw hidden in a deep recess. Fortunately, it was removed without cutting. After reassembly, the new lower bearing could be positioned back far enough to allow the blade to pass properly. What should have taken a couple of hours turned in to a three afternoon ordeal. Maybe your saw will go easier. On the positive side, the new bearings are much larger and beefier. The tool-less adjustment made setting up a new blade take just a couple of minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slight modification but a worthy upgrade Same as the last reviewer I had to notch out the nib to get the lower bearings to fit my 2008 rikon saw. Keeps my blades on track with the ease of adjustment.

5.0 out of 5 stars DH in Chattanooga: Kit Now Works Well on Older Saws I did not encounter the issue a previous reviewer describes. My Rikon 10-325 was bought in 2005, so it is one of the very early ones. I installed the bearing guide retrofit kit today without any problems. Rikon has changed the guide pin on the bottom assembly to a cap screw, which allows it to be removed when installing the kit on an older model like mine (without the slotted mounting hole) with a hex key instead of having to saw or grind it off. Everything fits, and the new bearings are a breeze to adjust and set.
