Changing Bearings on BJ26 Stock Motor

[nckmat]

I have a BJ26 with at least one worn out bearing in the stock A3630-1500 motor; has anybody tried to change these bearings and if so how the hell do you open the motor can?


Any advice would be appreciated.

Not 100% sure but it looks like the front end bell is threaded in and the back is deff. pressed in. Gonna be a 5mm I.D. bearing not sure about the O.D.

I have removed both Bearings, first tap the shaft so the end bell will pop off, it is pressed in. i used a piece of wood, then you can remove the front by unscrewing, and just replace bearings. nothing to it!

What replacement bearing did you use?

I did the same with mine , got mine from Boaca bearings, when i get hope i can look to see if i can find my original package with the part#,,,

Thanks Jerry,
I'll take them out tonight. Thought they might be the same ones that go in the Feigao & Nemesis S, L & XL motors 11mm x 5mm x 5mm that Steven sells but wanted to be sure before ordering them.

I got the bottom off but can't budge the front. Any tricks?

Screw in two screws in the front endbell (not too far as to damage the windings) and clamp the screw heads in a vise (not tight) Then you should be able to get a good grip on em and unscrew the can.

Then once you get it off if the bearings dont pritty much fall out i used two 1/4'' sockets one on the inside bigg enough for the bear to fall into and one on the outside small enough to fit in the encap but tofit the bear and nock them out with a hammer...
