Default Unisaw Bearings

Replaced the arbor bearings a few weeks ago and now they are making noise

Was the noise gone immediately after replacement but now it's back again?

If so, I'd say you either have a severe misalignment, _way_ too much
belt tension or similar problem causing a premature failure or as Lew
says, screwed 'em up in the replacement process....or, the bearings
weren't and aren't the noise in the first place. *But, what specifically
was a noise is pretty much indeterminate from here w/o knowing what it
sounds like or anything else--perhaps, it's simply normal or the motor or....

No sarcasm intended here, but can "too much belt tension" ever be a
problem with an Unisaw? The motor's weight hanging from a pin
provides tension across all three belts.
Also to the original poster; I would like to know how old your Uni is
and how much you use it. I am only curious because I wonder when (or
if) I will be noticing any bearing wear in the next few years.
Thanks,
