(ET) Pulling the motor bearings

[steven1955 comcast net]

Bill and others,

When pulling bearings off a motor do yourself a favor.  Use a split bearing puller.  (Google split bearing puller ot split bearing attachment to see what they look like.)  Standard wheel pullers are too big and can damage windings or commutators.  (Evidently Chris ran into this issue.)  You can get away with wheel pullers sometimes, but the split bearing pullers were designed specifically to remove ball bearings in tight quarters.
