Re: (ET) Bearings for the motors

Chris, 
Chances are the blade hub is stuck on the motor shaft, but do not pull on
the flange. You will probably break it as it's a two piece assembly that is
brazed together. You'll need a puller that can fit between the hub and the
motor's drive end frame. 
IMHO, the best puller is a Posilock Model 103 or the next bigger model 
might
be better for pulling the drive end bearing, the 6205. They are by far the
best three jaw pullers around, but they are not cheap.
Screw an appropriate socket head cap screw, about 2" long or so, into the
end of the shaft. Some blade motors used a 5/16-18 thread while some were
3/8-24 thread. The hex recess in the head will allow the screw of the 
puller
to stay centered.
Use plenty of PB Blaster and let it set at least overnight.
Good luck.

PS. If you should break the blade hub, I got a box full of them someplace.

Ok, I got a shipment of 6203 and 6205 bearings. The 6203 ones (small) 
seem to be a proper replacement for the top bearing on the fat motors. 
The 6205 bearings seem to be a proper replacement for both bearings on 
this blower motor.

I'll grab a bearing puller kit from HF tomorrow and see if/how they fit. 
But looks pretty good for a start.

Also need to figure out how to pull the stupid hub adapter for mower 
motors without wrecking threads or bending the hub adapter. Real pain in 
the neck.
