Abstract: A bearing block can be secured to a fixture with quick release spring pins. The bearing block can also be secured to a shaft using a quick release spring pin. This facilitates the removal of the bearing block for repair or for cleaning whereby the bearing block can be removed without the necessity of tools or skilled labor. This thereby saves time in the removal, cleaning and reassembly or replacement of the bearing block and the device can be put back into service with significant time savings. This bearing block can be used in new designs or can be used to retrofit existing bearings and blocks.
