[header] How to pour babbitt bearings [title] Remove the old bearing. [step] Babbitt bearings are solid and must be melted off with an oxy-acetylene torch, available at hardware and building supply stores. Open the bearing case and melt off the old bearing, making sure you melt the retaining grooves and holes, as well. 
Collect the melted babbitt in a cast iron lead melting pot, available at welding supply outlets. Scrape remaining babbitt from the bearing case, grooves and holes and add them to the pot.
