I've twice had the bearings give up on Primus (my original 696), once at around 30,000 miles and again around 30,000 miles later.

In both cases the failure was discovered as part of a routine service. The belts didn't break, and there wasn't any collateral damage, but I count myself lucky.

First time round as the guys from Snells took the belt covers off, ball bearings fell out and rolled across the garage floor ...
